## What is Photo Coin Counter (Photocoin)?

Count your coins in seconds, just by taking a photo.

Photocoin turns your camera into a coin counter. Spread your loose change on a flat surface, take one photo, and Photocoin finds every coin, identifies each denomination, and adds up the total for you.

No more sorting change into piles or tapping numbers into a calculator. Point, shoot, and get your total.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Place your coins on a flat surface (a sheet of white paper works best).
2. Hold your device flat over the coins. The label turns green when you are steady, and Photocoin snaps the photo automatically.
3. Tap the denomination of the highlighted coin so Photocoin knows the scale.
4. See your results instantly, with every coin circled and color-coded: green for pennies, turquoise for nickels, orange for dimes, blue for quarters.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
- Fast: one photo counts a whole handful of change.
- Private: all image processing happens right on your device. Your photos never leave your phone.
- Works offline: no account, no internet connection, no per-use fees.
- Color-coded results make it easy to double-check every coin.
- Add or remove coins by hand if you want to fine-tune the count.

TIPS FOR THE BEST RESULTS
- Use a plain, light background so the coins stand out.
- Spread the coins so they do not overlap. Coins can touch, but overlapping ones hide each other's edges.
- Keep the device flat and steady, and make sure the whole group is in frame.

Great for counting jars of change, teaching kids about money, or just clearing out your pockets at the end of the day.

Note: Photocoin recognizes United States coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters). Counting accuracy depends on photo quality and good separation between coins.

### 1/5 — Coin counter

*2025-05-02*

When I tried to take a picture to count the coins I wouldent le met take the picture

### 1/5 — terrible

*2025-04-14, version 2.1*

just don’t

### 1/5 — Rt

*2024-04-28, version 2.1*

I tried to scan coins, but it didn’t work

### 3/5 — Okay but it needs to add more coins

*2023-11-24*

Half dollar, one dollar

### 1/5 — NOT GOOD APP

*2023-07-04*

It always takes super blurry images and it doesn’t add the coins values up. It just tells you how many coins are there. In order to see how much the pile is worth you have to put what every single coins value is into the app.

### 1/5 — Does not work at all

*2023-06-27*

I tried for so long to take a pic and it would just not detect the coins

### 1/5 — I don’t know how to count coins

*2023-03-05, version 2.1*

1 star

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-10-16, version 2.1*

Ew

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-08-24*

I have so many coins that I can’t count by myself so I tried to find apps that helped me count them so when I open this app I first tried the pennies I took pictures successfully with the largest part then I made the part smaller and smaller until it was just one and it still never worked even when it said it was a successful please do not download

### 1/5 — Worst coin counter

*2022-01-22*

I only tried to take a picture of seven quarters to test it out and get used to it. After five failed photo scans attempts, it counted three quarters and a penny. The total it found was 0.80. Even after removing the penny, it found 0.75. The other four quarters can clearly be seen and yet it will not count them. 100% needs work on and will not be using this app ever again. (Idk where it thought a penny=0.04. All it showed was that this app needs more work.)
