Among developing and transition nations, currency redenomination was employed on 60 occasions during the 1960-2003 period.2 These redenominations varied in size, from removing one zero from the currency (14 instances) to removing six zeros (9 instances); the median redenomination was three zeros, dividing the currency by 1000. (from "Dropping Zeros, Gaining Credibility? Currency Redenomination in Developing Nations")

neutral  pidzej: redenomination OK ale tu niepraktyczne - pre-redenomination brzmi mało atrakcyjnie//to jak byś to przetłumaczył - "from before the redonomination"? tyz piknie

  -> Zadaniem tłumacza nie jest tworzenie wątpliwości, lecz przełożenie tekstu w sposób zrozumiały dla odbiorcy (stąd przyp. tłum.), tym bardziej, że jest to nakaz aresztowania. Czytelnik może sobie poszukać więcej informacji, jeżeli zechce.
