GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 585022
add RSD (Serbian dinar) currency
Last modified: 2018-06-29 22:23:06 UTC
Code for Serbian dinar (RSD) entered ISO database few year ago (2003, IIRC) and it is not yet in the gnucash.
Hi, I introduced RSD in my patch of bug 582985. But there remains a few questions for me to the developers: If I am right, RSD is a 1:1 continuation of YUM. This seems a simple case. 1. should we drop YUM a) now b) sometime later c) never from our list? 2. should there be an entry YUM->RSD in some array, Andi5 showed me once? Hm, I think not, because users in other former yugoslav republics would have other prefs. 3. Am I right, that this array does only a string replacement and no recalculation at a frozen rate? I watched many former socialist countries in the 90s change there currency like 1000 RUR -> 1 RUB, but also other countries in other times. A third part changed at fixed rates to EUR. Probably this is ther wrong bug for my questions, but they arose, when I tried to validate my patch.

I'm for a. > 2. should there be an entry YUM->RSD in some array, Andi5 showed me once? > Hm, I think not, because users in other former yugoslav republics would have > other prefs. I agree. YUM is used only in Serbia and Montenegro, not in other republics I don't know would it be usefull to keep it for historical reasons and what is the policy/practice in gnucash. IMO, YUM can be removed but I'm not expert in these areas. > 3. Am I right, that this array does only a string replacement and no > recalculation at a frozen rate?
