If not, what is the task? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 07:22, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks Rdm. I should have spotted the connection with Luhn. The difference is that ISINs can contain alphabetic characters, which must be translated to digits before a Luhn checksum is calculated. CUSIP, the North American stock codes, are shorter but otherwise use the same algorithm as ISINs. I couldn't see a Rosetta page for them.
There is another page on Rosetta for [[SEDOLs]], which use the same letter-to-number technique, but thereafter use a different checksum algorithm, not Luhn.
So I think there is a point in having an ISIN page. What do you think?
