in reply to RFC: Algorithm::CouponCode

Can you avoid 1's and O's (that's the letter oh) as well?

It looks like you're not using I's and 0's (eyes and zeros :) ) but removing all the possible glyph confusions will probably help reduce errors, and it doesn't cost you that much of the space.

I just read the "About Couponcode" tab - the autocorrect is a very nice feature, but it might be worth mentioning that feature on the front page, so the customer doesn't worry while reading the code...
