Yes I noticed that the banknotes and coins sections got merged in a one catalogue and I got baffled. To be honest there wasn't even a problem in the first place and I was thinking of sending an email to xavier but saw this forum first and hope he sees this. The banknotes and coins catalogues were two very different sections and each appeal to each collector. For example I like to collect more banknotes than coins even though I have more coins as I like them more, but now if I want to search for a banknote I have to filter all of the catalogue. As the other user (don't remember the name) said, it's not user friendly and I remember when I first found numista it took me a while to find everything out but if it was like this I would be even more confused. There wasn't a problem to be fixed, I hope xavier changes it back. Though I like the merging of the banknotes and coins in the personal collection because I see now that I have from 98 countries, but this could be a separate feature with the old setup
Can't say I'm a fan of this change either, don't see a reason to have everything grouped by default. It's nice I can see my whole collection now, but I don't see why we couldn't have gotten just that
That was not the point of the update. I think it was to remove or at least reduce the gray sections between coins and exonumia as well as banknotes and exonumia. It was always a moving here and moving there depending on what someone felt was the right place and if you were not sure what the unidentified object in front of you was it often happened that you couldn't find it even when it was listed in the catalog because you searched in the wrong section.
Personally I just modified my bookmarks that I already had for the two major searches I always do, Coins of Japan and Banknotes of Japan with the appropriate filters applied. So I see nearly no difference to how things were.
i thing with a filter in this list https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pays.php for each member put what they need if the member don't want collect exunomia, like me, don't need to see fantasy countries and other issuers that don't have coins.
Thank you for replying. However, on the page https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pays.php there is no filter for the type of items, so, for example, “Georgia, Democratic Republic of (1918-1921)” is listed, which had only banknotes and no coins.
On “My collection” there are filters, but there are two problems:
“All” shows all of them even when the filter “Coins” is on (“Georgia, Democratic Republic of (1918-1921)” is still shown).
“From which I don't have any items” shows issuers of fantasy coins, patterns, etc. ("Benelux" is visible when “coins” filter is on).
The issue (2) could be addressed by adding more filters for “My Collection” page (so as in the search page), but (1) seems to be simply a bug.
I think the catalgo want to be like colnect, being about collections and not coins. Now the tokens are more bright and present, of course the exonumia (word that will no longer exist on Numista) lovers are happy. But the coin collectors are frustrated.
