I have added some historical notes and more cross-references making it clear that moissanite is both (A) synthetic, if purchased as a gemstone, and (B) the same material as SiC/carborundum. The article probably still needs work, but it reads less like advertising copy now.

Some particularly vague comparisons have been discarded -- for example "about one tenth the price per carat of diamond" doesn't actually mean anything useful since the price per carat of diamond varies by a factor of over 1,000 (for powdered industrial diamond grit vs. a 2-carat blue-white brilliant cut VS).

This '''list of circulating currencies''' contains the 182 current official or ''[[de facto]]'' [[currency|currencies]] of the 192 [[United Nations]] [[United Nations member states|member states]], 1 [[United Nations General Assembly observers|UN observer state]], 4 partially recognized sovereign states, 6 [[List of unrecognized countries|unrecognized countries]], and 32 [[List of dependent territories|dependencies]]. The only dependencies and unrecognized countries listed here use a currency other than that of the [[Sovereignty|sovereign state]] that administers them or has ''[[de jure]]'' jurisdiction over them. Currencies used in places of extra-territoriality like the United Nations or the [[Sovereign Military Order of Malta]] and [[scrip]]s used by private entities like the [[Disney dollar]] and the [[Ora (currency)|ora]] are not under the purview of this list.


== Cost? ==
A currency is a unit of exchange and hence a kind of [[money]] and [[medium of exchange]]. Currency includes "paper" [[banknote]]s and metal [[coin]]s. Countries generally have a monopoly on the issuing of currency, although some countries share currencies with other countries. Today, currencies are the dominant means of exchange. Different countries may use the same term to refer to their respective currencies, even though the currencies may have little else to do with each other. A place that is technically part of another country sometimes uses a different currency from that of the parent country.


Does anyone have any specific figures on the rough cost of this simulant for various caret weights? Say in 2005 USD? I'm just curious. [[User:Dcoetzee|Deco]] 06:46, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Instead of being a diamond stimulant, Moissanite stands at its own because of its beauty. People are looking for something better than just diamond. It's unfair to say that it's a substite of diamond, it's a misunderstanding of Mossanite its own, since nature Moissanites are more rare and expensive than diamond. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.148.129.238|24.148.129.238]] ([[User talk:24.148.129.238|talk]]) 17:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Revision as of 05:00, 13 October 2008

I have added some historical notes and more cross-references making it clear that moissanite is both (A) synthetic, if purchased as a gemstone, and (B) the same material as SiC/carborundum. The article probably still needs work, but it reads less like advertising copy now. Some particularly vague comparisons have been discarded -- for example "about one tenth the price per carat of diamond" doesn't actually mean anything useful since the price per carat of diamond varies by a factor of over 1,000 (for powdered industrial diamond grit vs. a 2-carat blue-white brilliant cut VS). zowie 16:48, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Cost?

Does anyone have any specific figures on the rough cost of this simulant for various caret weights? Say in 2005 USD? I'm just curious. Deco 06:46, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Instead of being a diamond stimulant, Moissanite stands at its own because of its beauty. People are looking for something better than just diamond. It's unfair to say that it's a substite of diamond, it's a misunderstanding of Mossanite its own, since nature Moissanites are more rare and expensive than diamond. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.129.238 (talk) 17:53, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
