Is your bill worthy? Check your pocket change before you accidentally buy a coffee with something rare. Most dollar bills are worth exactly their face value. A few are worth a lot more. Worthy tells you which is which, in seconds, without the hype. Point your camera at a bill. Worthy reads the serial number on device, checks it against online sales, and gives you an honest estimate. Sometimes that is $200. Often it is face value. We will always tell you the truth, even when the truth is "go ahead and spend it." WHAT WORTHY LOOKS FOR Collectors hunt for "fancy serial numbers," the unusual ones that turn a common bill into a wanted one. Worthy checks every serial for the patterns that matter, from neat sequences to perfect repeats and palindromes. It also flags star notes, the replacement bills printed in smaller runs that collectors love. If your bill is special, Worthy will know. Each bill gets a clear verdict, from "Not rare, spend it" to "To keep, frame it instead." HONEST ESTIMATES, NOT FAIRY TALES Worthy's prices come from real sales, not wishful thinking. You get a value range and a one line reason for it. When the data is thin, we say so. We would rather under promise than sell you a dream. 100% ON YOUR PHONE Worthy is built privacy first, and we mean it: The camera stays on device. Apple Vision reads the text. No photos are uploaded, or even saved. Your scans live on your phone, with optional iCloud sync that Apple encrypts end to end. No ads. No analytics, no third party SDKs, no trackers. Pricing runs fully offline. Worthy works in airplane mode. No account, no login, nothing to sign up for. ALSO INSIDE MULTI mode to scan a stack of bills back to back A searchable, sortable history of everything you have checked A manual estimator for a bill you spotted online or in a photo A few facts about US currency you did not ask for but will enjoy Worthy covers US Federal Reserve Notes. Estimates are based on web sales and may be inaccurate. Worthy is a hobby tool, not financial or investment advice.
