Puerto Rico [Risolto]

I believe we should move Puerto Rico to become a sub-issuer of USA. This is because it is now a USA territory. If someone counter argues by saying it was not controlled by the US during its coinage, I will state that Hawaii had coinage and they were their own kingdom, yet still a USA subissuer.

So maybe we should separate Hawaii then?

However Hawaii did have USA WW2 banknotes, so it would get complicated. I guess as long as Puerto Rico does not ever make any coins or banknotes under USA control then we will just leave things how they are. If we did make Hawaii it’s own issuer, could we make a period for banknotes “Territory of Hawaii” and also separate it from the USA on the collection map?

Puerto Rico should be listed separately, as it was under Spanish rule when Puerto Rico's coins were struck.

Wasn’t Hawaii under their own control as well?

If our main organizing principle at the top level is to put the coins as close as possible to the current nation (and as long as there is no compelling reason against), we keep Hawaii where it is.

And we put Puerto Rico as a sub-issuer under the USA.

If the more important organizing principle is the status at the time of issuing the coins, then we could follow Krause that has them both as top-level issuers (but we are not always following Krause).

To me, we are mostly organizing French-Feudal, German States, and Italian States along the lines of the current national boundaries, regardless of previous history.  So it would be consistent to have both of these places under the U.S.

Indeed, following our rationale, Puerto Rico should go under current USA (exactly like St Barthélémy for France)
