Question:

Are obsolete currencies supposed to be listed with the current currencies?

Possible reasons they are still listed:

  • Historical reference
  • Archival purposes
  • Transactions involving old debts
  • Collectibles
  • Legal obligations that still recognize those currencies
  • Rates for certain old currencies can still be converted under specific agreements or for people holding them as part of rare exchanges
