<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2422614, member: 46237&quot;]I organized my Austro-Hungarian type set in the way the OP is suggesting. I made a spreadsheet with a row for each type, and then the columns represented the years. I would then mark off the years each type was minted. Once you do this, visually, it is a lot easier to create logical groupings of the coins. Sure there are some overlaps of the types, but they really don&#039;t end up looking that significant when viewed on a timeline like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that type albums use denomination first to lower manufacturing costs. It keeps all the like size holes together, which let you fit more coins on a page for smaller diameter denominations. After all, the size of the row is dictated by the largest diameter coin on the row.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
