United States dollar:

"The United States dollar (sign: $; code: USD; also abbreviated US$ and referred to as the Dollar, U.S. dollar, American dollar or US Dollar) is the official currency of the United States and its overseas territories. It is a Federal Reserve Note and consists of 100 smaller cent units."

Should "Dollar" be capitalized? If so, doesn't that warrant a Wiktionary entry? I'm not entirely sure myself. WikiWinters (talk) 11:08, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Prescriptively speaking, it shouldn't be capitalized, because currency names aren't capitalized in English (compare pound, yen, euro, etc.). That doesn't mean it descriptively never is capitalized, though; if attestable it could conceivably be called an dollar. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 11:25, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it should be capitalized when used as an alleged object of worship: the Almighty Dollar. DCDuring TALK 20:56, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * It follows the general capitalization rules: capitalized at the beginning of a sentence, when it's personalized, etc. There is no need for a definition. Lmaltier (talk) 21:03, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't see what's being asked here; there is no English sense at "Dollar". Striking. Equinox ◑ 01:45, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
