Ján,
1) We can't keep all old European currencies indefinitely.
Why not?
Because they are not used anymore. For instance in France we don't use the
franc for eight years (and, like many French - and
European for their own currency I guess-, I struggled to forget it). Same for
all the countries which entered the Euro zone in
2001. On the other hand, as I suggested we could add the currencies that are
still in use. BTW, I privately received this
answer from Ján
1) I agree, i mean primarily old currencies for new coutries in european
monetary union, as Slovakia, Slovenia etc. (and in
future
Poland or Czech Republic).
In teen years I suggest we remove them again. But anyway, who knows what the
world will be in 10 years :o)
Note that I will not begin a war of religion, and if the community prefer to
revert, I will. It's maybe also easier...
You said "We can't keep all old European currencies indefinitely." I bed to
differ. Technically we CAN keep them indefinitely.
The point I was trying to make is not can or can't we, but what should we do?
The issue about historical data is a good one,
because there will likely be existing or migrated data that relates to these
currencies for many years after the currencies are
no longer usable.
We could add a flag to say if a currency can be used or not for new
transactions...
I did not thought it that way because these currencies (replaced by Euro in
2001) should have never been used in OFBiz.
But yes your proposition makes sense at large. What will you suggest as
Entity.field ?
Fortunately we have already a Jira issue (re)opened for that
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-847

2) Some countries may need to have their own currencies still in OFBiz
3) We may then add them... => Jira issue(s) with patch(es)

Hi,
in r825188 was removed "dead" currencies for countries which switched to
euro. I think, that wasn't good idea (or good idea in all cases). For
example, slovak krona is currently used for dual price view until end of
2009. In some cases old currencies are important for
orders/quotes/invoices history, too.
