We need a cleanup tag. The writers in this article use the wrong sources who don't know the value themselves either. They should be using http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/money.html who take their info straight from J.K. Rowling as much as they can. The article should be about the appearance of the money and what can be bought with it instead of just the bloody exchange rate. We don't need all theories. Most of them can be blown out of the water anyway by something called exchange rate fluctuation.

On the subject of the unsourced... While looking up some info on british coinage today I ran across a cruftlink to [[Money in Harry Potter]]. Talk about unsourced! it runs wild with rampant speculation, routinely slips into the fictional universe, and I especially enjoy the bit towards the end where it lapses into first person (search for " I "). It's bad enough that I'd probably check it carefully for copyright violations before doing anything other than putting a deletion notice on it.
We need a {{crap article}} template...
