I use Exact Change; I really think it is a worthwhile program. Very easy to use, very intuitive controls etc. It's reports feature is great and customizable. I am still in the process of adding coins and this will take a considerable amount of time but I think it is great overall. I have used Coin Manage and other program in the past. Coin Manage is a nice program but I would only caution you about changing the coins they have already in their database. I deleted several coins and moved coins from one category to another. Then I did there update and it re-added the coins that I deleted and or moved. So all the time I spent getting the database the way that I wanted it was lost. I have also tried Coin Collector's Assistant Plus (Carlisle Development Corp) but I found that it had a very large learning curve.

Exact Change comes on a DVD, primarily because the program contains over 20,000 images. It is suited for both U.S. and World coin collections.

Exact Change has the capability of its user adding categories and customs reports (along with many pre-defined ones). It has all the bells and whistles of the major programs plus more.

To top it all off Exact Change has customer service that I believe is second to none. They answer your questions promptly and usually the next day. They have frequent updates which by the way are FREE forever! They are also very receptive to their customers suggestions for improving the software. At $79.95 including free updates I don't believe there is a more reasonably price Coin Collecting Software program out there. Recently Wildman Software (Exact Change) signed an agreement with Krause Publications authorizing Wild Man Software to include KM numbers in the Exact Change database. Exact Change is the only software package for coin collectors that is currently authorized to include these catalog numbers.


Wildman Software has also recently released a feature called ebooks. This feature allows users who have the Krause Publications Standard Catalog of World Coins on DVD. They can view the catalog right in Exact Change. When you click on a coin type, Exact Change takes you right to the correct page in the correct catalog. It doesn't go just to the country, it goes right to the page on which that particular coin type is listed!


Give Exact Change a look, I don't believe you will be disappointed but you will have a little less money in your wallet. Also they now have a trial version that you can download to try for free. Website http://www.exactchange.info/index.htm
