South Africa KM-138 and 164 coins need description revision

Both KM-138 and 164 rand description include references to the multi-language legend that do not exist and this is confusing. KM-138 has legend in English and Afrikaans and 184 in Afrikaans only.

By "description" do you mean title? The titles look right.

N#2233  KM# 164

N#831 KM# 138

KM# 184 is something completely different.

N#403200 KM# 184

No, the text within the description :

Looks like someone just copy-pasted it into multiple types regardless of the actual legent present.

Looks like someone just copy-pasted it into multiple types regardless of the actual legent present.

I am sure someone did exactly that. 

You can edit the coin descriptions yourself. I suggest something like:

in this series of SA coins the names of SA on coins came from 11? langs (lang 1, lang 2, ). On this coin there is French (iNingizimu Afrika) the top of the obverse.

Create a reasonable wording and use the same form for each coin. Some coins have the country name in more than one language.

With 141 coins affected, might be a job for Mr. Robot.

I fixed the 2 coins mentioned above, the rest when/if time permitting. I thought all changes are reviewed by approver.

I applaud this effort. The slipshod pasting of the list of all eleven languages into all the coins of South Africa's 3rd decimal series was a source of great despair to me back when I was making an effort to contribute to the catalogue.
