Banknote Value

Features
Read full description

Ever wondered if an old banknote is worth more than its face value? Banknote Value identifies any paper money from a single photo and estimates its real collector value in seconds, from world banknotes and old bills to hyperinflation and demonetized notes. For identification and estimation only. INSTANT IDENTIFICATION Take one photo of a note and get a full breakdown in seconds: country, denomination, series and year, issuing bank, catalog number, and an estimated collector value in US dollars, not the printed face value. SERIAL NUMBER ANALYSIS The serial number can be worth more than the note itself. The app reads it and flags collectible "fancy" patterns, star and replacement notes, and whether the serial adds a premium. CONDITION & GRADE Get an honest grade on the standard paper-money scale (Uncirculated, About Uncirculated, Extremely Fine, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Poor), with notes on folds, corners, paper quality, staining and repairs. ERRORS, VARIETIES & AUTHENTICITY Spot printing errors, star and replacement notes, specimens and proofs, and get an authenticity check so you are not fooled by a reproduction or a common note sold as rare. 6 EXPERT TOOLS INCLUDED - Fancy Serial Checker (free): instantly detects solid, radar, repeater, ladder, binary, low and high numbers, and birthday-date serials - Collector Value Estimator: scale a reference price by grade and premiums - Condition Grader: get a grade from a few simple questions - Error Note Guide: learn which printing errors add value - Star Note Guide: understand replacement notes and their premiums - Grading Scale Guide: the paper-money grades explained REAL MARKET PRICES See comparable notes and what collectors actually pay, so your estimate stays grounded in reality. PERFECT FOR - Collectors of world and US paper money - Anyone who inherited or found old money - Flea-market, estate-sale and garage-sale finds - Travelers with leftover foreign currency - Buyers checking a note before they pay HONEST BY DESIGN Most notes people photograph are common. The app tells you when that is the case, so an impressive-looking number never misleads you. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Save every scan, organize your collection by country, denomination or value, and export detailed PDF reports for insurance or your records. Some premium features require a subscription. Pricing and terms are shown in the app before any purchase.
