Salapi etymology

[edit]

The article mentions "salapi" as coming from "sa" (Tagalog "isa") and "rupya". Except that Tagalog "isa" cannot be used without the "-ng" suffix e.g., "sampu" for the number 10 (Old Tagalog "isang pulu") and not sepuluh as in Malay. It is more likely that "salapi" comes from Indonesian "serupiah" or one rupiah, rather than a more linguistically complicated interfacing with Tagalog "isa". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4452:305:6600:5DDB:D6D3:D03:D491 (talk) 05:40, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

200 peso note

[edit]

I'm not sure why some are trying to put the 200 peso note as "rarely used" in the info box. You see them every day in stores and on the street. Maybe years ago, it was considered rare, but I see them every day. Perhaps due to inflation, or just they are printing more of them. They are obviously the least commonly used note, but far from "rare". Unless someone has a source that is current (last year or so) that demonstrate how "rare" they are, it shouldn't be included as a rarely used currency. Dennis Brown - 00:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
