Hello: I am new to SPMC and am looking for a spreadsheet template for my collection which is international and includes old, new, obsolete and error notes. I would like something that is attractive with flags or some other bling to it. I have created my own spreadsheet but it is quite bland. Can anyone help with an available shareable sheet or a source of one. Thanks very much.

I have no spreadsheet, but for obsoletes, consider using the ODP to record your notes.
Late to this post, but
Late to this post, but thought I'd share what I used for my inventory. I've tried to use several different collector's software packages, but there was no long-term support for them, and I found them not as easy to use as just using Microsoft Excel for my inventory. I have an eclectic collection of U.S. & foreign currency, movie prop notes, POW and emergency currency, military chits, depression scrip and other strange stuff. In my spreadsheet I embed scans of the front and backside of each note, and I'm starting to add images of the watermarks too.
My column listings include Country/Issuer, Year, Front image, Back image, Watermark image, Denomination, Miscellaneous Notes (signatures, commemoratives, POW, etc.), condition, catalog #, acquisition cost, current estimated value, and who I acquired it from. Using Excel, or something similar, you can tailor it anyway you want, including adding flags if you desire. I'm using it for my collection of over 4,000 items. If you want to include flag images, a good website for current and historical flags is Flags of the World (crwflags.com), they have nearly every flag image you might need.
