============
It has been a year unlike any other in living memory. No doubt COVID-19 has affected the lives of many Numista members. If you wish, please share your personal stories of 2020 here.
Interesting numbers of increase in members.
I have said this before - this brilliant website "Numista", cataloguing my small collection and reading about coin related stuff has kept me occupied during the lockdown.
Great stats! Surprised it wasn’t the biggest year for new members. I bet it was a good year for collection documentation (numbers of coins added to collections). It is really great when we have members from all areas of the world.
I appreciated most of the changes I saw in the past year. The rearrangement of countries was beneficial. Still like to see a way to categorize and group countries by the organizations they choose to belong to (NATO, Holy Roman Empire, Hanseatic League, UK Commonwealth, and many others). Maybe that is just too big and too complicated. Also understand but remain disappointed in the addition of advertising.
overall though, a great gob last year! Thanks to all who help make it all possible!
