Exonumia is an open source platform that allows its contributors to translate and publish content about Bitcoin into Native African languages. It is ran by the South African non-profit company of the same name and company registration number 2021/711041/08.

Why the name Exonumia?

The wikipedia entry for Exonumia states that

Exonumia are numismatic items (such as tokens, medals, or scrip) other than coins and paper money. This includes "Good For" tokens, badges, counterstamped coins, elongated coins, encased coins, souvenir medallions, tags, wooden nickels and other similar items. It is related to numismatics (concerned with coins which have been legal tender), and many coin collectors are also exonumists.

And the definition of Numismatics is the study or collection of coins, tokens, and paper money and sometimes related objects (such as medals).

Since the purpose for this platform is to translate content that explains how Bitcoin works into native African language we thought it fitting to use the word Exonumia as the name of the project. May time teach us what is a Numismatic while we learn about Bitcoin.

Why does the Exonumia Project exist?

The Exonumia project understands the difficulties faced by native speakers of languages which have been excluded from the economic and political activities in the African continent. To avoid the native African being excluded from the activities and developments which are possible through using Bitcoin as a medium for economic activity we wish to translate as much content as we can and get it to the people who would benefit the most from it.
