Banknote Identifier
Banknote Identifier is a mobile application that uses AI to identify banknotes, coins, and related numismatic items from photographs. Users can capture both sides of an item, add close-ups of dates, serial numbers, signatures, watermarks, mint marks, or damage, and receive an organized report with issuer, denomination, series, date, design clues, condition, rarity, and value context. The app supports paper money, coins, tokens, medals, checks, scrip, and vouchers. Beyond identification, the app includes an interactive assistant that answers follow-up questions about the item's history, design, value factors, and condition, grounded in the user's photos and scan result. It also provides collection management features: past scans are saved with thumbnails, search, favorites, categories, and filters; users can manually add item details when photos are not available; and scan summaries can be shared with others. Banknote Identifier is available on both iOS and Android. It offers a generous free tier with no account required, and provides additional free tools such as an old banknote value checker and educational guides on the accompanying website.
