Thanks, stud722,
I joined this group for the long haul, and I struggle to find the best ways
in which to serve.
If it be to make reading inscriptions on coins less strange then so be it.

To triggersmob,
Would you consider sending me a PM outlining how you learned these number systems?


Matthew, it wasn't difficult. It's just a matter of practise.
I used the site thet Aiglet7 posted earlier in this thread..

Just start with one number system and when you have that down pat, then move onto the next.

Steve,
The site that you used and recommended is quite comprehensive.
But if I were a collector of countries that used these systems I would want
to know them by heart.
Sometimes you can see a coin and not have a computer handy.
After looking at the Thai numbers it became evident to me which of the digits
were similar. Much like the English "E" and "F", "O" and "Q" and "B" and "P", some
of the digits were very much the same. The number "3", on the other hand, is quite
easy to remember as it is the number "3" tipped over 90 degrees.

Like I said, it's just a matter of practise, the
same way you learned our numbers.
