Overall:

Article was moved from draftspace to mainspace on 6 June and nominated two days later. Earwig is not loading for me so I'll AGF on that but the article is well and thoroughly sourced, including the hook. I would recommend slightly modifying the hook to specify US Dollars ("US$" as opposed to "$") since this will be on the Main Page but I'm not going to hold up the nomination just for that. I think we're good to go here. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
