Identify any banknote with a photo and see what it may be worth. NoteID is the banknote identifier for collectors, travelers and anyone curious about paper money. Snap a note and get its country, denomination, series and year, plus its condition, rarity and estimated value. From an old dollar bill in a drawer to foreign money from a trip, every note has a story. NoteID helps you read it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Photograph the front of the note or choose a photo from your gallery. 2. Add the back for a sharper match. 3. Tap Identify and explore the results. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE HOLDING See the country, issuer, currency, denomination, series and issue year, with the variety, material, size, printer and catalog numbers such as Pick when available. Find out whether a note is still legal tender, can be exchanged or has been withdrawn. CONDITION, RARITY & VALUE Get a condition grade from Poor to Uncirculated, with a closer look at folds, stains, wear and edge damage. See how rare your note is, its estimated value and what drives it, plus tips for grading, care and selling. SERIAL NUMBER CHECK NoteID reads the serial number and flags the patterns collectors look for: star (replacement) notes, radar, repeater, ladder, solid, binary and low serial numbers. SECURITY FEATURES Learn where to find the watermark, security thread, hologram and color-shifting ink on each note, and which warning signs of a counterfeit to check by hand. HISTORY & DESIGN Discover the portraits, symbols and signatures on the front and back, the history behind the note and the facts that make it interesting. SIMILAR BANKNOTES Compare your note side by side with reference photos and see which look-alikes it's easy to confuse with.
