Maktun: Coin, Note Collection

Doesn’t say how much it’s worth if you want to sell it

Easy to use, accurate, no ads

I’ve tried them all, and Maktun is the winner for global collectors. The AI identification for both coins AND banknotes is incredibly fast and accurate. I love the world map stats—it makes tracking my collection feel like a global adventure. Clean UI, massive database, and no annoying ads. Must-have app for any numismatist! Maktun Pro-Tips: How to Get Perfect Scans If you want to get the most out of Maktun’s AI recognition, here are a few tricks I’ve learned to ensure a 100% match rate: • The "Paper" Trick: Place your coin or banknote on a plain white piece of paper. This high-contrast background helps the AI instantly distinguish the edges of the coin from your table or desk. • Parallel is Key: Hold your phone perfectly flat (parallel) to the coin. If you tilt the phone, it distorts the shape of the coin, making it harder for the AI to recognize the inscriptions. • Lighting over Flash: Use natural, indirect light (like near a window) whenever possible. If you must use the flash, try not to point it directly at reflective coins; instead, use a desk lamp from a 45° angle to bring out the relief and details without the "blinding" glare. • Don't Get Too Close: Maktun has a great autofocus. You don’t need to zoom in until the coin fills the whole screen—just make sure it’s centered and sharp. The app's recent 2026 update even includes on-screen tips to help you lock in the perfect focus. • Use the Tokens Filter: If you’re scanning a commemorative token or medal, remember that Maktun recently added a specific Tokens & Medals database. If a coin isn’t scanning as "currency," try checking the token section!
