Tell Me About Numismatic Cabinet
What is this Numismatic Cabinet thing? Numismatic Cabinet is the best way to share your coin collection with the world.
It uses a museum metaphor to help you organize your collection in the easiest way
possible.
Images of each numismatic item are gathered together and handled as a group. Your items
are organized into private archives. From these archives you can mix and match items
to put into public galleries.
Do I have to own the items I display in my galleries?
No, but you do need to own the images you use to illustrate the items. If you made images
from your own coins then you're covered. If you didn't make the images it's up to you to
get the permission of the owner before you upload them to Numismatic Cabinet.
Tell Me About My Account
Why do I have to type in the word from the Security Image?
This is to make sure you are a real person and not a script trying to create
many accounts automatically. Unscrupulous people might do such a thing to give
themselves hundreds of accounts. These scripts won't be able to find the
text in this image, but a human can find it just fine.
Tell Me About My Archives
Do I have to fill in all the attributes?
No. These are all the attributes that are available. You will probably only
fill in a few of them. The attributes you leave blank will be ignored when
they are displayed in a gallery.
Also, you have the option to change any of these attributes when you put an
item into a gallery. When you do use a different value in a gallery the values
you entered here are not changed. This way you can customize the item for each
gallery in which it is used.

How do I enter advanced formatting like tables and links?
Advanced Formatting is avilable only in the Description fields. To obtain advanced formatting
you use special notation called Wiki Creole 1.0. This is similar to the markup used
in Wikipedia.
