"Dear Zilog Jones, Do you really think that your contribution There is a hole in the centre of the disc, usually used by a some form of clamp or clip device within the player to hold it in place and allow it to be rotated by a motor. The diameter of the hole is 15mm - coincidentally the same size as a Dutch 10 cent coin. will add to the value of the CD article? Specifically, your remark regarding the fact that the diameter is 15 mm, which is the size of a Dutch coin. Why is this so important? Each and every size has been used somewhere, so it is not difficult to relate anything with anything. Is there something of historical relevance in this fact? If so, please add, otherwise this 'fact' can better be removed. Dsc 16:43, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)" :Someone mentioned earlier in the CD discussion page that the hole was based on the size of a dutch coin, but wasn't sure which one. And as you may know, Philips are a dutch company! AFAIK they had a lot of input with the design of the disc, especially since Sony and other Japanese companies were originally planning on using 30cm optical discs for audio. From what I know it was Philips who put forward the 12cm format, so it's likely they designed it. :Also, there was no mention of the hole in the centre before - the dimensions of it, or its purpose. I don't know if there truly is a relationship between the hole and a dutch 10 cent coin, but it's possible. --Zilog Jones 17:53, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC) The diameter of the center hole is irrelevant for Wikipedia. It has no effect on the playing time or other key parameters of the CD and DVD. The possible relationship with the Dutch coin is coincidental. In the same way as you did, I could write that CD's outer diameter, 12 cm, is the same as that of the Heineken beermat (coaster). And as you may know, Philips and Heineken are Dutch companies! So my conclusion, let us stop listing trivialties in wikipedia, so pls remove both your contributions regarding the center hole and the dutch coin. Dsc
