Ethiopia list messed up

2 posts
There is something wrong in the Ethiopian listings, and I don't know why this haven't been fixed a long time ago.
Please explain what happened here :P





Edit: Just noticed that the middle coin's first date also is before 1976.

Edit 2: I'll just give you the answer. It should be 1945-date, because the only change that happened in 1975 was that the English term for the Ethiopian curreny change from Dollar to the local name - Birr.

​Yes, I agree with you completely.

The only slight issue here is that there are some coins belonging to the "Second Birr" that are dated 1944 - a result, perhaps, of the complex calendar conversion required for these coins. It seems, though, that these coins became official currency in 1945.

As the referee for Ethiopia, I would like to request that the name for the Ethiopian currency currently labeled as "
Ethiopia - Birr (1976-date)" be changed to "Ethiopia - Birr (1945-date)", as ngdawa has suggested. This is in line with everything I have read, and corresponds to the information provided here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_birr
