Numista, thank you for letting us know, under the “issuers” tag, that fantasy coins were issued for the country(-ies) that we collect. Some of it is new to me.
The question arises how to “un-know” this, since I have no need for fantasy coins in my collection that has never seen the country it is listed under and/or was never used there by anyone?
I guess Paper Exonumia is banknotes but not officially issued?
If so, what on earth makes the Search find 47 items in my collection?
I do not [now or ever] collect banknotes, nor stamps for that matter, yet the site says I have some.
These are Tokens :(
Probably what the mean in the big orange banner at the top: During this time, you may notice some glitches and some inconsistencies in thecategories of the objects of the catalog. Thank you for your understanding!

I only collect circulating coins so I go to country I want & type circulating in the search box it cuts out the tokens etc.
Currently got a few spikes that suddenly add 20,000 items to my ‘Collection History’., then vanish Clearly these are glitches, so can anyone tell me when they will be fixed?
Also, I have a replica William the Conquerer coin in my Exonumia collection. Instead of my collection ranging from 1566 to the present year, it now goes back to 1066. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but it is clearly inacurate. The replica was produced only a couple of years ago at most.
Can we please find a way of correcting this anomily, maybe by having a separate section somewhere on Exonumia pages for the ‘Probable year of production’, as opposed to the actual date on the item, which (self evidently) can be meaningless.

Already is. You should report issues on the Website forum post or at least check there for status.
All collection records have disappeared apart from the oldest and newest.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
I am very disappointed with the new changes, according to mixing micronations and fantasy pieces.
Looks like tons of researchs “those of Artsakh are official, those are not”, “this Lundy have legitimacy, those not”, “This Sealand is able to issue coins”, “Sahaara recognize some of those”, all study thrown away.
Now Numista is a mix of ucoin+colnect+fantasy tokens
I miss the random items being separated into coins, banknotes, and tokens. It was nice getting to choose from a wide variety of random coins, banknotes, and exonumia.
I think I'm not the only user who would like to use the main coins database without any distractions. For example, how to hide bogus issuers such as Benelux? How to count real countries? When everything is mixed together, a lot of information is lost.
Search filter works for search only, not for the entire website.

I also have two replica British coins both marked as replicas. But because the originals were silver and gold, it messes up my values!! So I had to put them in as being G rather than Unc. to devalue them. But the Gold Victorian coin is still messing up my values. Numista is putting down 2000 euro Gold value!😥
big kudos from me also to Xavier & the team behind the website. This weeks modification was a big one and has been quite successful, for sure some details need still to be finetuned.
Big upgrades like this always are difficult to accept for the userbase, it will take some effort to adapt but I think it's a great leap forward!
I can live with the changes overall. My only difficulty with it is that the font size seems to be significantly smaller which is a struggle for me with these old eyes. I tried adjusting for it in my computers accessibility settings and that helps on this site but it throws everything else on my computer out of whack. Anybody else?

Nothing has changed, I think it can be your browser. Have you tried setting correctly the font size? You can press CTRL key and use your mouse wheel to make the zoom closer. Hopefully this helps!

If you have a genuine replica, one that is obviously marked as such like with COPY or a modern date, other obvious design changes like size etc. (that is at least my opinion and anything that is a fake to deceive should not be listed on Numista other then the now long defunct fake catalog) you can add to the catalog (LINK).
And if the year on an item is not the minting or issuing year by more the a couple of years we usually put it as ND (actual year). But I have seen many reverts of that practice in the last years.

Thank you. I will try that.
Edit. Yes, that did it. You can see that it is not only my eyes that are challenged. So are my computer skills 🙂
I think it was completely unnecessary to combine the two. I mean, its useful for not having to seperate all the trash that places like Niue make, but I still think its just confusing to combine exonumia with coins.
In general I like the new layout, but since I'm in the middle of downsizing my coin collection, it's a little messy when everything is smooshed together. Yes, the collections can be separated, but for the moment I'm not a fan of the layout, but I'm convinced I will appreciate it more when I've reached my goal of downsizing.

Agree. Being able to select Coins, or Banknotes or Exo separately was very useful. I had all the banknote pages for all countries that I am interested in, and those I referee, bookmarked. All those bookmarks are now broken. I can't find anything now, will need to redo all the bookmarks!

I didn't even know you could do that. But the catalogues you are referee for are linked in your profile, so at leadt those are easy to find.
With bookmarks, but I have done this for over 8 years so nothing to do with the update. In the past it was more so that I could modify the search to contain everything on one a single page with 600+ hits (not working anymore for a few years though). Now I have two general searches that I use the most, that can be expanded if necessary, for Japanese coins and banknotes.
These are Tokens :( 
Hooray:)
