I have been using "Collecting World Coins...1901-Present", 8th Edition, copyright 1999. When I recently received some Argentina coins, the KM#'s don't match up. For example the 1 Austral 1989 coin, my book shows KM#75, but Numista lists it as KM#100. 10 Australes, KM#77, Numista, KM102; 100 Australes, KM#78, Numista, KM103. What is up with this? Did they change the KM numbers in a later edition?

As you can see in the random picture beneath it looks like not only the Austral coins got new KM# numbers but Argentina as a whole is revisited with new KM# numbers (somewhere between 2000 and 2005):

I wish they wouldn't do this. It makes it difficult to know which coins you have and which ones you still need, if you can't trust the KM#.
