Yes it takes a bit longer to load up now.

Yeah, I know. :cray:

Originally, I used the tiniest images I could find. But then I found myself showing it to bank tellers when looking for new coins, and zooming in was rubbish. So I started grabbing better pics, and it sort of bloated from there.

I'm really going to rethink it from now to the next update, and see if I can come up with a better way that works offline. Maybe split it in two... a simple list and a book of eye candy.

Maybe just do it in denomination so you click on the denomination you want but it all goes under decimal mintages, I don't know your the computer geek and I'm just a layman

That's already how it works in the HTML version. But the links don't make it through the PDF printing process for some reason.

Its much easier online, since you can just link to whatever size images you want. But offline it all needs to be packed in... sort of like those extra slices of cake you packed away at dinner.

Just so you know, this thing was never intended to be a printed book. It started as a HTML page for my own reference, then when I got my iPod I wanted a local copy I could refer to offline. So its basically aimed at mobile devices.

If I was going to turn it into a book, I'd change the layout a LOT, and make it about half the size. I already trimmed 5 pages off it just now.

The new version looks even better. Thanks!

Thanks. Glad you like it.

BTW, forum tags are just like html tags, only in [] instead of <>. A block starts with a tag, like [ quote ] for example, and ends with a /tag. Putting the same tag at both ends isn't very productive.
