I am personally absolutely delighted to see this item in particular.

Somethings not right with these bence and louise figures... there are only 60 bence in a louis.

I quickly reconverted all the values, these should be correct:

I just checked the numbers with the conversion template on the wiki -- odd, wonder if that's broken?

Nevermind, I just doublechecked the conversion template on the wiki and with some small exceptions (like writing 1289¤0 instead of ℓ1289), its output is correct. What happened here?

I didn't do the work, but now (like a half hour later) it's correct for me.  Doing the conversion on $550 gave the incorrect result just a minute ago!  But no one's edited https://wiki.talossa.com/Template:Lb for years.  I don't know, this is weird.  Probably just operator error on my part (and presumably others).  Thank you for catching this!

Wow, thank you, Your Majesty!  Later in the term, we hope to launch this fundraising campaign and seek out some perpetual monthly donors, but way to begin things in style!

Sorry to bother you again, but whole amounts of louise are written as ℓ___ instead of ___¤00. I accounted for that in my fixes, but didn't explicitly point it out.

I will see the Kings ante and have raised my "bet" to $50 on the Kingdom so we're at $75 thus far to the $250 goal.

At this rate, we'll be raising millions of dollars this year!

So nice to see pockets opening for the Kingdom.
When the will is there good things are possible.

@Françal I. Lux Does this still need review by the CRL? There are still several days remaining before publishing of the Clark but I wanted to be sure.

Yes, I got the procedure mixed up. Apparently it has to be reviewed by the CRL before being Clarked.

Gotcha, just wanted to check Francal.

Heads up to the Minister that I am ready to move this bill to the CRL as soon as he requests me to.

Please do so, that is what he wanted.

Actually, I guess properly speaking sponsors still have to explicitly request it. @Françal I. Lux ?

@Sir Lüc kindly move this to the CRL

Done.

Budget looks okay to me
