From an unknown piece to a clear ID
Each feature starts with a real problem: you have a note or coin and need a name, a catalogue number, or a sense of collector interest.
Country, series & catalogue
Foreign scripts and similar designs are hard to search by hand. Get issuing country, denomination, series year, and a Pick or KM catalogue reference when it can be read with confidence.
Condition & value ranges
Wondering if a piece has collector interest? A condition estimate plus broad collector-market bands by grade — estimates, not appraisals. Pro unlocks the full value section.
Front and back
Look-alike issues often differ on the reverse. Add the other side for a more confident match — serials, mint marks, and reverse designs are easier with two photos.
Collection & history
Scattered photos and notes get lost. Every scan is saved locally with photos and details. Search, favourite, and export a backup when you want it.
Fancy serials, on device
Radar, repeater, and other notable serial patterns are flagged on your phone — no extra server call — so you notice interesting numbers without a separate lookup.
How it works
From photo to identification in four steps.
1
Photograph the item
Open the app and scan a banknote or coin. Use the camera or pick from your gallery. Lay it flat, fill the frame, and avoid glare.
2
Crop to the edges
Tighten the crop so only the note or coin remains. Confirm the photo, then tap Identify.
3
Read the result
See country, denomination, series, condition, and — on Pro — collector value ranges, with an honest confidence score.
4
Save or scan another
Keep the piece in your collection with photos and details, or photograph the next item.

Privacy you can trust
Photos are used to identify the item — not stored as a photo archive.
Photos for identification only
The cropped image is sent over HTTPS to identify the note or coin, then discarded server-side. We do not keep a photo archive.
No account required
No email sign-up. Open the app and scan. Your collection stays on the device unless you export a backup.
Honest about limits
We never claim authenticity or counterfeit detection. Values are collector-market ranges, not appraisals.
