there currencies other than USD, JPY, EUR, and CAN? If not, why?
Having CAN among the four seems a bit strange to me if not
Anglocentric - we have two for primarily English-speaking countries,
but none for example for Chinese-speaking countries (ie, Yuan
Renminbi, Singapore dollar, New Taiwanese Dollar, Malaysia dollar,
etc), given that zh.wikipedia is currently the fastest-growing on the
growth curve of all the larger Wikipedias (ie, it may be growing
slower than en and de currently are, but it is growing faster than
they were when they were at a similar period) and has 20k articles
(most of the other top Wikipedias are languages spoken primarily in
Euro countries)
This is an issue of the hard realities of international banking, and
not of political correctness.
Also, the yuan/RMB of the PRC is not a fully convertible currency.
