Coin & Banknote Collecting Software

   Computer can help you easily organize your collection. I am using Microsoft excel to organize all banknote and coin in my collection. Some of you maybe using Microsoft access or word.  All of my collection is put into category that I prefer.  Some of you maybe want to group them into for collection, for sale, duplicates, partial collections for family or friends,  not yet valued and any other category which suits you.  Anyway, don't ever forget to copy your data into external harddisk or thumbdrive.  It will be a painful thing if your data is missing because of viruses or you PC suddenly kaput.

For you who have an extra budget and want to find an inventory sofware for your collection, I found this coin & paper money inventory software via the net.  All of this software is Vista compitable.

2.   Exact Change Coin Collecting Software

   The series page provides you with a powerful tool to organize your collection in whatever way best suits your needs as a collector. You can add, remove or rename coin types. You can represent a coin type with an image of one of your own coins, or Exact Change will automatically represent it with the appropriate image from among the more than sixteen thousand images included on the DVD. The info tab provides metallic content and historical information about each series. The stats tab provides a summary of the coins of this type in your collection, the number of varieties you have, their price and value, number of duplicates, etc.

   While other coin collecting software may include cheesy little images of U.S. coinage, Exact Change includes over seventeen thousand images for coins from around the globe. These high quality images display a level of detail that has never before been available. No other coin software offers this many images, nor images of this quality. Many coin collecting programs are available for electronic download, requiring that they contain a minimal amount of picture data. Others are shipped on a compact disk with a 640 Megabyte capacity. Only Exact Change is shipped on a DVD with a 4.7 Gigabyte capacity because Exact Change contains so many high quality images. All images are taken directly from the coin, none were scanned from a magazine picture.  

This is their price for the software.  They also including a Krause Publications Books in PDF format for sale at a bargain price.
