I'm looking for a way to keep a record of my coin collection without having to purchase software, any ideas?

Heritage numismatics has an online collection tool.  You have to register on the site, but it is free.  If you buy from them, then the coins you buy can be automatically added to your collection list.  In addition to listing the coins and grades, it also gives current wholesale value for each coin.  Just go to MyHeritage on the following web site.  Good luck!

I used to do that before I decided what a pain in the neck it was and took the 8-9% hit from going to the change machine at the market.\n\nI got a box top and raised the big flat side up with a book at an angle.  Then I counted out the coins and laid them in the groove made by the side of the box top, and marked the spot where the required amount ended,  and then pushed the wrapper along the coins, then scooped it up and tidied up and folded the ends down.  Repeat, but you don't have to count the coins anymore because you marked the spot where they ended for that amount.\n\nThere are gizmos you can buy that "count" the coins by allowing only so many in the various columns and then you can slip the wrapper along the columns....

Well there are coin books in bookstores and you can always go to a coin shop and have the folks there investigate it for you...

There has always been a market to mis-struck coins. There may be a local coin shop, that would be the best place to check.\nThose coins are also sold on www.ebay.com But you won't get the full value as you will sitting down with a real coin dealer.\nGOOD LUCK

Call or take it into a coin broker or rare coin shop.  You should look at a few books before you actually show it to them, as they will always offer you less than it is actually worth!  Never sell it on the same day that you inquire about it & don't give up any of your personal info to them.  Gather as much info as you can, then make a decision as to whether or not you will sell it.  Sometimes, if you can afford it, it is better to adopt a "wait & see" attitude if your bill is a silver certificate, because some are so extremely rare.  The U.S. Treasury Department may be able to advise you.

There is a site for collectors of currency listed below. I suggest you start there, and post your question to them, since Yahoo seems unlikely to be helpful in the answer here.

What worked for me:\nYou'll need paper rolls to pack the coins into.  They are very inexpensive at office supply stores.  Banks may give them away free of charge. Penny rolls hold 50 pennies each.\n\nGet a movie to watch while you sort, count, and roll. You can buy all sorts of toys (uh, I mean tools) that will help you. But that all costs money, decreasing the final amount of money that goes into your pocket.\n\nI called my bank and told them how much I had in change and asked them if they would accept the rolled coins.  They told me that if I put a personal identifier on each roll, they would accept the entire amount.  (I think this was an arbitrary requirement imposed by a teller who didn't want to deal with $400 in change, so make sure you ask your bank for specifics.)\n\nOther option that I couldn't force myself to do:\nCoinstar: No counting, stacking, rolling, or identifying. They will also charge a fee of 8.9% which I find unacceptably high, but you get to make that choice for yourself.  They might be running a no-free promotion somewhere. The Coinstar website has a kiosk locator.

I recommend the Professional Coin Grading Service. They give good information on how coins are graded, how to work out which coin you have, as well as prices (updated daily). Good luck!

Visit the website of you particular credit card.  You don't need software.

The others have provided links.  If you mean the actual currency, most banks will do it for you for bills.  I don't know of many places that will convert foreign coins, though.

None that are free....Sorry.\nMost have you register and pay a small fee monthly or large fee for one time use.

Do some investigating before you go to a dealer so you know what the ballpark figure should be.  The best place to find the info is in the reference section of the library, or get the latest (for sure you need the latest info) from a book at Amazon.com or Barnes and Nobles.  I've seen these, know they do exist and are the same ones that coin dealers keep on their own shelves as reference guides.  Just remember that they will underestimate the value if they intend to resell for a profit.  Still, it would let you know the value, and I would absolutely let a coin dealer sell my coins for me before I attempted to sell them myself.

There are alot of in the know people about that sort of thing on the currency tracking website www.wheresgeorge.com\n\nJust ask on one of the collecting forums.

You can get them on Ebay or any local coin dealer.  You can also go to the bank and get some rolls of quarters ... that way is more fun.

Take it to a coin dealer. (Yes, I know it's a bill...but they deal in that stuff, too.)
