Hey
Just an idea:
"Inspired" by the "language of a coin"-topic, which was implemented some time ago, I thought we could maybe get one for numerals too? Or does that sound too strange, since most of us probably will know, from the language/script of the coin? And a few languges use their letters as numbers too, like Hebrew and Braille and a few spell it out too, like the pre-decimal UK coins?
There is also a risk, the information page, can get too crowded with (maybe) useless information, I guess?
But like this, for instance, a few examples:
Arabic-Hindu /Eastern-Arabic(٣, ٢, ١ )
Chinese, financial, traditional (壹, 貳, 參)
Chinese, normal (一,二,三)
Hindu-Arabic (1, 2, 3)
Thai (๑, ๒, ๓)
Roman (I, II, III...)
And so on...

I think most of the time the number system correlates with the language one + maybe western Arabic numerals and yes overcrowding is at some points already here.
Απόσπασμα: "Sjoelund"and in scwc:
What do you want more?
What weird is that they have Korean in there. In the korean section it simply says "Half", "One", "Two", "Three" ... And why haven't they included 영 - which means zero?

Oh, wait. It's probably because there's no coin with the denomination "zero". LOL!
I think, if not considering the overcrowding issue at least, it would be a good idea, since for instance not everyone has the SWCW. Or at least a database of numbers, since Nepali numbers for instance, can be different between the standard numbers and how they look in reality. See this item for example:
