Can't register more than 255 of a certain year of a coin in my collection [Risolto]

Hello,

Issue reported by "Bohannon" originally, and I can confirm it.
As an example, if you own 1000 pieces of a certain coin of a certain year of a certain grade, after refreshing the page, the number will be reduced to 255.
Can that limit be raised?
Thanks!

"I just added some coins and the forum reduced my numbers to a maximum of 255 per item that had previously been a lot higher.
I get tired putting up my coins and then the forum craps on my numbers.
Maybe I will not care if it has a programming brain fart.
I cannot give an accurate coin count with that problem.
Example, I added 800 Eisenhower dollar coins of one year and it was reduced to 255.
I have a total of 2400 eisenhowers. How many does the website record?"

It has been reported before and I seem to remember it was something to do with binary.

Just a side question. Why would you need that many Eisenhower dollars?

I follow the paper trail. You can print as much Obama money as you like, but there are only so many coins on the mainland USA.Credit cards are the bubble that everybody uses and all bubbles burst.
Banks hold only so many coins for all their members and even less in credit unions.
I prefer to have my own personal bank with as many coins as possible.
I have a bigger coin bank than most people have in savings.
Paper money is confiscated by cops using the excuse that it tests positive for drugs.
Coins do not test positive for drugs.
Have you ever tried to rob someone of their coins? They are heavy.

That's because Numista is a site for collecting, not ... hoarding. It was never anticipated that one would need more than 8 bit memory per box, so the maximum is 255.
