This, of course, creates huge opportunity for human error each time I transfer the information.
I tried one brand of software a few years ago which I worked on for many hours before having it ultimately and repeatedly lock up on me.
I want one which:
Easy/quick to enter (perhaps mulitple) coins and rolls of coins.
Is Very stable and capable of handling a collection of my size.
Includes Canadian coin option
Automatic "purchasable" updates annually
Allows for purchace price of coins to be included in record.
Will spend up to $2-300+.
Easily customise reports
And did I mention easy/quick to enter?

It seems like most of the many I have found do most all these things except I am struggling to understand the differences.
Is there one which is known to be the best?
What do you all think?

I can show you how to write it yourself. Its a straight forward programming problem.
