After recently renaming some of my "Dollar" stores, I was thinking it would be nice if the FSA had an official name for its currency. The name can show up on the map in business names. It seems dollar is unoffically accepted by some and others unofficially use scrip. Is this something where we need some names and could vote on in August?

Not a mapper of the Federal States, but I quite think if there's an official FS currency it would probably be directly pegged to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20180119195005/http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Unified_standard_dollar Unified Standard Dollar]. I hope the FS could have like a different currency name like pound or something, but I guess many would prefer using dollar.

I do prefer using the "Dollar" name, mostly for simplicity, but I can understand some people preferring a different name. I ''think'' there was a discussion somewhere on Discord about it, but I don't recall where, or when. I like Zhenkang's suggestion of the "Federal Dollar", I propose the acronym FSD.

After recently renaming some of my "Dollar" stores, I was thinking it would be nice if the FSA had an official name for its currency. The name can show up on the map in business names. It seems dollar is unoffically accepted by some and others unofficially use scrip. Is this something where we need some names and could vote on in August? Glauber (talk) 17:12, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
