LKCC - Lankan Coins and Currency

Notes on Editing

  1. Convert to units currently used in Numismatics.
    Grains into grams. 1 grain = 0.06479891 grams (15.4323584 grains = 1 gram) (0.01 g precision)
    Inches into mm. 1 Inch = 25.4 mm (0.1 mm precision)

  2. Put each subsection in it's own webpage for proper indexing.

  3. Remove obselete dates such as with 60 year error and use only BC and AD (now given as G.) and where needed AH

  4. Translate words and spelling to current usage. For example
    Ceylon to Lanka, other than in references.
    Eldling to Punch Mark.

  5. Footnotes and superscript reference have been linked using anchors.

  6. Italics and Bold font used as in printed text

  7. Hyperlink internal and external references.

  8. Replace images scaned from CCC plates with actual coin scans.

  9. Diacritical Marks in Printed Text have not yet been edited in.
    Should be done, but lot of work.

  10. Need to provide for addition of user comments and observations.
