Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/British currency task force

Welcome to the British Currency Task Force Part of WikiProject Numismatics

The British Currency Task Force of WikiProject Numismatics is a hub dedicated to the organisation and continued development of articles relating to the curency of the British Isles.

As a task force we seek to improve and develop articles relating to both the historic and modern day currencies of the British Isles. The majority of our articles are the result of intersection between WikiProject Numismatics and a range of other projects such as WikiProject England, WikiProject Scotland
