What is my coin really worth? MünzCheck gives you the honest answer – even when it is "about three euros". COIN IDENTIFIER • Photograph any coin. The AI scanner reads country, denomination, year and mint mark • Works for euro coins from every country, pounds, old national currencies and more • For German coins the value comes from the app's own checked catalogue – never invented by the AI WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE • The complete German Bundesländer series I: 16 designs from five mints, 80 coins – fully collectable • The value check: enter year and mint letter, read off the value. No photo, no internet • 3 AI scans to try • D-Mark conversion, a guide to the German mints and the first rarities THE MINTS A Berlin, D Munich, F Stuttgart, G Karlsruhe, J Hamburg. Karlsruhe strikes only 14 percent – which is why the G is missing from almost every collection. RARITY CHECK • 2 pfennig 1968 and 1969 in solid copper – with the magnet test you can do yourself • 5 D-Mark 1958 J, 50 pfennig 1950 G and other genuine top pieces • And the honest classification: over 95 percent of all coins are simply not rare MÜNZCHECK PRO – ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION Pro permanently unlocks: • Bundesländer series II and all other German 2 euro commemoratives • The 2 DM portrait series and the five early 5 DM silver commemoratives • Every known rarity instead of just the first two • The running guide value of your collection and export as a list • 10 AI scans included EXTRA AI SCANS Each AI scan costs one credit. Heavy scanners buy scans in packs of 25 or 100 – one payment, no expiry. The value check and your unlocked album work without credits. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS No user account, no sign-up, no ads. The whole catalogue lives on your device and works offline. One honest exception: the AI scanner sends your photo to a service provider for analysis. If you would rather not, use the value check – it identifies your coin by year and mint mark and works fully offline. Please note: value estimates and albums currently cover German coins (euro and D-Mark). Coins from other countries are identified but not priced. All values are guide prices from the collector trade, not a purchase guarantee.
