Currency Honor
Hi Irenic,

Thanks for updating the currency honor. At first I was concerned because you were changing the requirements. I went to the NAD's official requirements and saw that they were the same as before your edits, so I rolled back all your changes. Then I realized that the GC may have different requirements for this honor vs the NAD. I checked, and yes - you had changed the requirements to align with the GC version, so I undid my change and reinstated yours.

But I'm not sure that was the right thing to do, since this is for the US version of the currency honor, and the US is in the NAD. I would have absolutely no problem in using the GC version in the other variants of this honor, as they are (mostly) not in the NAD.

My guess is that the NAD may eventually adopt the GC version, but that could be years off. What do you think? Should we put the NAD version back in for the US and update all non-NAD variants to use the GC version, or just leave it alone and hope the NAD catches up?

 * Hello Jomegat,


 * I did realize about the differences in the GC verses the NAD. I have all ways gone to the GC website. I was thinking about teaching this honor and I all like how wiki helps with the honors if you get stuck, thank you for what you have done. When I started to teach this I noticed the difference in the questions and thought I would try to "fix" it! I will email the GC and ask them if they have noticed the difference. Thank you for your help.==[[


 * I meant to say that I did not realize they were different, sorry about that.


 * You'd be surprised how many people come here and "fix" the requirements by making them easier, which is why I was so quick to rollback your changes. I'm sure the GC knows they are different.  The GC and a couple of the divisions (NAD and SPD) have committees that regularly review the honor requirements and make changes to them.  It is a very formal procedure, and I do try to stick to the "official" versions (and wording).  I do fix spelling errors, but that's about as far as I will take corrections.


 * From the looks of it, I would guess that the GC has updated this one, and the NAD has not caught up yet. In the beginning of this wiki, people from SPD would come here and change the requirements to match the SPD.  We eventually adapted by making variants available (see Camping Skills III).  In the case of Currency, the questions could be the same, but the answers would be different, so I took a different approach here.  I am so glad that you went in to fix it.  We need more people like you! --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 01:54, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Update
Hello Jomegat, I am sorry that I am just know replying. I have been trying to find some coin collectors to talk to. I wonder if you could have both the NAD verson and the GC verson on here? I have talked to people at the NAD and the GC. The NAD said that their version has been updated more recently. I have told them both that the GC verson would be cheaper for a large group. Let me know what you think, thanks. Irenic1 (discuss • contribs) 01:25, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Irene. Yes, we can put both versions on here, and I'll work on that later today.  Also, you should know that the NAD has formally adopted the work here as their official answer book, and are hosting it at their own site.  We have more flexibility there than here, and can host the new Instructors Manual for Investiture Achievement.  The downside is that I now have two sites to maintain. But it's worth it! BTW, I did a little reformatting on your talk page to make it easier to read.  Hope you don't mind.  --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 12:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
