<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3242123, member: 19463&quot;]Many years ago I was introduced to a code system that has served me well.&nbsp; It is a simple number replacement using a keyword with nine letters and no repeating letters.&nbsp; If you need a word, check this list.</p><p><a href="https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100817171459AAWEmn2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100817171459AAWEmn2" rel="nofollow">https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100817171459AAWEmn2</a></p><p>My word is on this list but I&#039;m not telling which it is.&nbsp; For example, lets select the keyword AWESTRUCK.&nbsp; That means</p><p>A W E ST R U CK</p><p>1 2&nbsp; 3&nbsp; 4 5&nbsp; 6&nbsp; 7 8 9</p><p><br /></p><p>All letters NOT in the key word are zeroes.&nbsp; I prefer that all codes have four letters so the system works for coins up to $9999 if you round off cents.&nbsp; That covers my collection but you may want five digits.&nbsp; I like to use the &quot;wild zeros&quot; to force meaningless words.&nbsp; For example, then, a $75 coin would code UT using 2 digits or GLUT using four.&nbsp; $50 coins would be any four letter string where T is the third letter as long as the other letters were not in AWESTRUCK:&nbsp; DITY, CITY, PITY, BBTB, OOTR all mean the same thing since only the xxTx is operative.&nbsp; After a short adjustment period using your word, those nine letters become second nature to you. I do recommend selecting a word you can spell. If I had it all to do over, I might select a compound word with a four letter first part and five letter second.&nbsp; COPYRIGHT works.&nbsp; That way the number 5 starts the second part of the word making it easier to count to other numbers.&nbsp; After using my word for so long, I&#039;m not changing but I do suggest using a little care i the selection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
