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)

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

You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-03-24.

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 fifty-złoty banknote 50 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.

Polish złoty → Polish zloty – The official English form is "zloty", without the character "ł", which is difficult to produce if not using a Polish keyboard TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 11:17, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Steel1943 (talk) 18:03, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
  • 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)

Comment The facts of the case seem to be very simple to me if one ignores the blatant filibustering attempts citing unrelated Biblical passages and tennis players:

  • WP:TRANSLITERATE states "The choice between anglicized and local spellings should follow English-language usage, e.g. the non-anglicized titles Besançon, Søren Kierkegaard, and Göttingen are used because they predominate in English-language reliable sources, whereas for the same reason the anglicized title forms Nuremberg, Delicatessen, and Florence are used (as opposed to Nürnberg, Delikatessen, and Firenze, respectively). "

Nowhere does it say that diacritics must ALWAYS be used, only when they are predominantly used. Even the Polish National Bank does not use the diacritic on their English website.TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 04:08, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
