<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poetheraven1, post: 1623586, member: 27225&quot;]My problem isn&#039;t with hebrew years being spaced out over two gregorian years.&nbsp; Charts are of some help, but I find that charts vary in the way they depict the numbers, and that the numbers depicted on the actual coin sometimes does not resemble the depiction in the chart.&nbsp; I&#039;ll try the suggestions of sunlarson and chrisild.&nbsp; They are more responsive to my needs.&nbsp; I&#039;m not really interested in learning the system itself with all its nuances.&nbsp; Since I collect world coins, I&#039;m not prepared to learn some percentage of the worlds 196 country numbering systems.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Bill</p><p><br /></p><p>QUOTE=Taxidermist;1621108]You might be getting inconsistent results because in every Gregorian year there are 2 Hebrew years. And vice versa, the year 5774 will take place during 2 normal years, 2013 and 2014. This is because Hebrew year changes in September.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might want to learn the system itself (which is actually very easy) and you wont need any converters and calculators anymore. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are only 2 pairs of letters that resemble each other, a bit of practice and you won&#039;t be able to make a mistake. I am saying this as someone who learned Hebrew as a second language, and it became pretty much like the first.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gematria</a>[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
