What is Moneta?
Moneta (pronounced "Mow-nay-tah") was the first of a series of numismatic programs from Numus.
Moneta deals with the Roman Imperial and Provincial series of coins from 27 BC until 498 AD.
Version 2.0 provides the following:
  1) A catalog for your collection, with images and print-outs (two styles).
  2) A search-engine for your collection (holds ~ 20,000 coins with images, 100,000 without).
  3) Reference material on rulers, denominations, and mints
         - equal to over 435 single-spaced pages of background information.
  4) Import/export functions ('Moneta' format and CSV).

   Additionally Moneta eases your cataloging effort by automatic conversions of differing measurement systems of weight and diameter, drop down lists for obverse inscriptions and obverse descriptions, an obverse inscription finder (from a partial legend), and a city identifier for provincial coins.  Mint and denomination drop-down lists are in approximately 14 different groupings, eliminating most impossible choices for any ruler.  The program provides security through optional passwords and optional substitution codes for costs/values and dates.  Extensive customization capability allows you to configure the program to fit your needs via adding, deleting, or changing rulers, mints, denominations,   metals, reference categories or inscriptions.
