Actually, it's quite easy. I use MS-Excel. I have a data entry worksheet that lists the posters on the vertical and lists the date/mintmark of the pennies on the horizontal. All I have do is enter additional coins that are posted by poster. The more difficult part was to set up a secondary output worksheet that automatically creates the output as I enter inputs on the data entry worksheet; lots of concatenation and formatting formulas (that took me a few hours to set up initially). However, once I'm done with the data entry, all I have to do is copy the entire output worksheet and paste it into my initial post. That's the easy part.
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. ~Chief Seattle, 1855
