The eusko is a real currency that is valid in the french regions of the basque country and Navarra, and its existance can be fully confirmed.

Links to wikipedia, or sources close to the subject, are insufficient to establish notability. (In addition to that, other language wikipedias have different criteria of inclusion.) The existence of something is not grounds for inclusion (although its inexistence could be ground for deletion).

Your claim that eusko is a "real currency" could be disputed, and it certainly is not "valid in [some region]" because none, nowhere, is forced to accept it as a way of payment: only those who desire to do so trade with eusko.

I added some sources that (in my view) establish notability. Note that those are secondary sources. I also trimmed down the article to remove unencyclopedic content. Tigraan (talk) 16:01, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's an alternative currency like the Disney Dollar or Tumin, so I think there's no problem with notability, just the style which you've already improved upon. Akerbeltz (talk) 13:33, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization of proper nouns

Should eusko be capitalized as it is a proper noun, even though it isn't in its native language?

There are also a few instances of Basque not being capitalized. Jonpatterns (talk) 17:21, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes in both cases I'd say. Akerbeltz (talk) 17:59, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've change my mind and think currencies are a special case for lowercase after looking at the euro article. Jonpatterns (talk) 18:39, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
