In English, this word is spelled zloty in most dictionaries, with a regular English L. I think we should use the English spelling of the currency in the English Misplaced Pages, and not the Polish-language spelling.--67.219.254.84 (talk) 20:22, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

But, złoty is the quote and quote "proper" way of spelling the currency. I think we should still use the Polish spelling. PolskiSlaskiegokowa! (talk) 20:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

File:POL-A1a-Bilet Skarbowy-5 Zlotych (1794 First Issue).jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:POL-A1a-Bilet Skarbowy-5 Zlotych (1794 First Issue).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 24, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-03-24. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:45, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Picture of the day Polish złoty A five-złoty banknote, issued by the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth on 8 June 1794 under the authority of Tadeusz Kościuszko. This issue, which also included denominations of 10, 25, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 złotych, marked the currency's first use of banknotes; złoty coins had been in use since the fifteenth century. See other denominations.Banknote: Kingdom of Poland; image courtesy of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution Archive – More featured pictures...

Are we writing in English or not?

The article says in its lead section that in English the word for the unit is zloty (with plural zloty or zlotys); but the Polish form złoty (and the plural złotych) occurs far more frequently in the body of the article, and also in the title. This is the English-language Misplaced Pages. If the use of the Polish forms in English is correct, the article should not say otherwise. If it isn't, I think they should all be changed, starting by renaming the article. --69.159.61.172 (talk) 05:24, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

—= I think it should all be changed to zloty, as this is the English term see wiktionary. According to MOS:FOREIGN usage of zloty is correct and złoty is not. Corn Kernel (talk) 08:37, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Re: Are we writing in English or not?

I am going to correct it. By the way, the artivle is in the process of expansion, but some data might be controversial, dubious, contradictional etc. Let anyone please put the templates that signify it is not in the style of Misplaced Pages. Please direct all the notes on my talk page. Best wishes, Ukraroad, 7:14, 17 Mar 2016(UTC)

Question Regarding Date Change

Under the section "Future of złoty", it states that, "... so it was considered unlikely that Poland would adopt the euro before 2019. " It is no longer 2019, and I don't know how to change the date, because just changing it to 2021 could be factually inaccurate. What should be done about this?

  • 1794 Polish five-złoty banknote 5 złotych
  • 1794 Polish ten-złoty banknote 10 złotych
  • 1794 Polish twenty-five-złoty banknote 25 złotych

  • 1794 Polish one-hundred-złoty banknote 100 złotych

The Polish złoty is the official currency of Poland. While originally existing only as coinage, radical changes to the currency were made during the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794. The second partition of the vast Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth resulted in the loss of approximately 200,000 square kilometres (77,000 sq mi) of land and precipitated an economic collapse. The widespread shortage of funds to finance the defense of remaining territories forced the insurrectionist government to look for alternatives. In June 1794, the Polish military leader Tadeusz Kościuszko began printing paper money as a substitute for coinage, which could not be minted in required quantities. The first Polish banknotes were issued on 8 July 1794. The banknotes depicted here, in five denominations from five to one hundred złotych, are from the first issue in 1794 and today form part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.

Requested move 10 September 2022

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. It seems unlikely that consensus in favour of moving is going to arise any time soon. The two supporters cited several sources that left off the diacritic, while the many opposers preferred consistency with other subjects keeping the diacritics.

  • Oppose. Misplaced Pages main title headers for entries delineating national currencies (of countries that use the Latin alphabet), should retain whatever accents and diacritics the local language uses for those currencies. An English-language redirect that dispenses with accents and diacritics will attend to any uncertainties. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 17:10, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

A Polish traveller's cheque from the 1980s written in both English and Polish, "Narodowy Bank Polski will pay to the holder of this cheque one thousand zlotys"

Comment. I decided to see if any English sources use "złoty" in ENGLISH, I found that none at all do, not a single source anywhere. Quite the contrary the overwhelming torrent of evidence is that "zloty" is used in English in all circumstances.

Along with that, Misplaced Pages also states that "Złoty", in English, is an alternate form of the spelling "Zloty". Look at Zloty & Złoty. Both Misplaced Pages & Wiktionary are bound under the same entity - that being Wikimedia. This is obviously a problem when it come to being consistent across all Wikimedia sister projects. If we decide to keep this article in the spelling "Złoty", then we need to change the corresponding Wiktionary page accordingly. ಢೠೊೠಃಈ (talk) 19:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages's mission is to reflect, not to assert, and emphasising "złoty" over "zloty" as the "correct" English term is a bold assertion which appears to lack any substantiating citations. TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 19:40, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
But Wiktionary does emphasis "Zloty" over "Złoty", and the Misplaced Pages article should reflect that by switching to "Zloty" for cohesion across sister projects. ಢೠೊೠಃಈ (talk) 19:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
I was talking about Misplaced Pages's use rather than Wiktionary's. I do agree entirely. TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 20:09, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
