A limitation/feature of ERC20 is it assumes a single token, none of the methods allow to select a token for a transaction. In my opinion it is not a good idea to manage multiple tokens through a single contract if you want to be ERC20. Lots of people (and contracts) expect a single token, and will not work if the same contract manages two tokens. | |

A contract can only access the public members of other contracts, if you define a public interface with the information you need you should be able to share information between contracts. | |

| Jun 9, 2016 at 22:59 | comment | added | Alex Beebe | Thank you for the detailed response! I think nested mappings is the way I want to go but I do have a question about launching the contract multiple times. If I launch the contract once for each coin type that I want is it possible to check the balance of the other coin types in one of the contracts? For example would I be able to check to see how many of the Coin3 coin type an address has in the Coin1 contract? | |
