### 5/5 — Really Good👍

*2024-07-21*

I’ve tried and tested 2 or 3 coins and they all came out with helpful values and stats. It’s also the only FREE app I could find which doesn’t charge you any plans or other add ons. I am a big coin collector and am very pleased with how it turned out! If you struggle to get the app to read your coin it may be to do with camera quality or it being out of focus👍

### 5/5 — 😊🪙

*2024-07-10*

This app works great for 30$ a year because I scanned a coin and it was worth 45$ so I all ready have a 15$ profit! 😄this app will also translate words on a coin! So if you had a coin from Japan and you couldn’t read it, well now you can! I have read many of the comments and they are all LIES. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the app. 😊😊😊

*2024-05-07*

The app only gives you 3 scans per day if you want it for free but you will need to pay to get unlimited scans
