[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 8175956, member: 118780"]I also have a background in databases, but I felt an Excel spreadsheet worked for my needs. The one recommendation I have is - if you want to database your coins - do this sooner rather than later. It was painful getting my spreadsheet up-to-date and I only have ~150 coins! It also took me several weeks to write the ~90 stories for my site. Now that I'm caught up, though, it's not too difficult to add new coins. The one thing I'll probably have to do at some point though is add a unique identifier for each coin. That's trivial to do in the spreadsheet, but I also need it labeled with each coin. If something were to happen to me, my wife and kids would have detailed information about each coin - but they probably won't know which coin belongs to which entry. :([/QUOTE]
