It does sound like you have way to many coins. I suggest a simple solution. Pack them all up and send to me. Let me worry about this.

Blasphemy! No such thing as too many coins. Maybe a need for more storage space.


My grandfather was a farmer and collected antique tools. When he ran out of space he didn't part with some of his hard earned collection, he put up a new storage barn to house his expanding collection!

You can never have too many of something that you like to collect! If you need to, you can buy some sturdy and durable boxes and put all your less valuable coins in them and stash them away somewhere. If you have a lawn and children you could bury a box or two and tell your children there's treasure in the garden. Or you can just put the boxes of coins in your basement for long term storage.

I agree with Fuzzy: if you think you have "too many coins" because they're scattered all over the place in a disorganized fashion, then your problem isn't numeration, it's organizational.

It's the difference between a "hoard" and a "collection". In a hoard, coins are simply accumulated and left to sit around in a big, unorganized mess. In a "collection", the owner can usually know exactly where to go to find any one specific coin in the collection. They will also likely know exactly when and where they bought it, roughly how much they paid for it (if they bought it) as well as either know or be able to quickly and easily find out the coin's basic statistics (mintage, designer, period of issue of the type, etc).
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
