Do you have a stash of old coins at home? Interested in knowing all things numismatic? CoinSnap helps you turn these small pieces of metal into exciting, valuable snippets of history.

What we love: Thanks to a powerful visual AI engine and a database of more than 300,000 coins from around the world, CoinSnap can quickly ID the ones you have. Snap a picture or upload an album photo and the app will return the coin’s name and the date, place and quantity of mintage – plus rarity and estimated market value, so you won’t let any treasures slip out of your grasp.

Quick tip: View your Collection statistics to identify your highest value coins and mintage distribution. You can also create categories for rare commemorative sets to make reviewing your collection a snap.

Meet the creator: Next Vision Limited’s corporate culture encourages team members to propose new apps based on their interests and areas of expertise. When the idea for photo-based coin recognition was championed by a product manager, a prototype was completed and the app was released online within a matter of weeks. The team is also responsible for nature ID apps such as Picture Bird and Picture Fish, as well as the healthy living app LazyFit.
