''Currency'' is not idiomatic for this meaning. I suggest replacing it with ''recency'' or ''expiry'' or ''expiration''. --[[User: Skm | Skm]] ([[User talk: Skm |talk]]) 09:14, 14 February 2015 (CST)

Mike, you had me worried there.... The term "currency" gets used a lot in the aviation community. As in, "I'm not night current, so I can't carry passengers at night. The night currency requirements are having done three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop in the past 90 days at night." I was wondering if this was just aviation jargon, but I'm actually seeing this as valid usage in a number of dictionaries, such as:
* The time during which something is in use or operation: no claim had been made during the currency of the policy. Source: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/currency?searchDictCode=all
* the quality or state of being current : currentness Source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/currency
* the state of being commonly known or accepted, or of being used in many places: The idea that computer use enhances students’ motivation has gained currency in recent years. Source: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/american-english/currency
The aviation concept is exactly what I'd like to express here with tool authorizations, although at present nobody is doing it because we don't have the technical ability to track it. This could change when we add RFID power locks for tools. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 00:10, 22 February 2015 (CST)
