I haven't looked too much at the tags in use, but noticed an inconsistency in the currency tags for this question -- 'usd' and 'british-pound'. I thought I'd create a meta question to discuss.

Did one of the other stack exchanges use both the abbreviation and the name as the tag like this:
usd-us-dollar, gbp-british-pound, etc.

+1. Those have the advantage of being keyword rich. There might be a length limitation on some obscure ones, but the major ones all probably fit. Commented Jan 4, 2011 at 20:26

1I just established a new tag 'cad-canadian-dollar' here: money.stackexchange.com/questions/5558/… ... we should change the other currency tags over time to match. Commented Jan 10, 2011 at 14:38

I've changed USD and GBP to the new style tag, and added a couple of more synonyms (noticed you had at least a couple there already.) Commented Jan 11, 2011 at 20:17

Currencies have standard names (usd, gbp, etc.) so maybe standardize on them and alias other names ("us-dollar", "british-pound", "uk-pound") to them?
