Fans of different types of music often capitalise them, from [[jazz]] to [[jungle]]. Some people capitalise the names of currencies, probably because many of them sound like proper nouns, [[franc]], for example, or [[mark]]. Of course those two have now ([[franc|almost]]) vacated the scene in favour of the equally capitalised-sounding [[euro]].
