This is a good idea, but still ripe for abuse.. Somone only needs to click 100 times to quickly enter 100 bills. I'm really not going to impliment any *public* method to bulk enter bills. We've already had one person enter 10,000 fake bills one at a time, and it took a could of days to remove most of them, but it was not possible to identify all of them. Therefore, for the sake of a valid, usable database, this won't happen, not matter how easy/convient it is/could be to enter bills. That's only half the story. The other half is my time maintaining the database.

: Know I'm not a HTML/web page designer but a suggestion would be a box you can click on to check to let it know you're entering in consecutive bills. You enter in the first serial number of the series and hit submit, then another page comes up and you enter in the last serial number of the series and click submit. A page comes up verifying all the bill that are about to be entered into the computer. If everything's OK click submit.
