PROPOSITION: NAME CHANGE "CURRENCY" TO "PAPER MONEY"

in U.S. & World Currency Forum

We're getting a few coin postings here and the OPs are generally sincere in their questions about coins but they are posting in the Currency section. In a broad generalization, I can kinda see how the term "currency" could be construed as all-encompassing rather than strictly Paper Money.

I actually think it is a genuine mistake because of the term "Currency" is vague to some people - definitely not to banknote collectors but to the general population.

**I believe the title of this forum would be more accurate if it was called " US & World Paper Money forum" **

Apologies if I've overstepped, I've observed what I think is a conflict and am trying to provide a constructive solution but I respect what the moderators choose to do

    Agreed.
    Hera Ye, Hear Ye, an official name change has been proposed by Sir @synchr of the House of Lords to the King of Collectors Universe. What say thee your Majesty, asks the town cryer.

    Seems like a reasonable suggestion. FYI, the reason your third paragraph didn't bold in the OP was because of an extraneous space between the final quotation mark and the asterisks.
