How to count coins from a photo with an online coin counter

Spread your coins on a table, take one photo and this coin counter online marks every coin it finds. You check the dots against the real coins, correct the number if it is off and add it to a running tally. It counts how many coins are in the picture, not what they are worth. The coin counter website works in a phone or desktop browser, with nothing to install.

Count coins online from a picture

Lay the coins out so none sit on top of another, because only coins you can see are counted. A plain surface that contrasts with the metal, such as a dark cloth under silver coins, helps each one stand out. Hold the camera directly above and parallel to the table so the coins stay round, and crop the picture down to the coin area if it shows more than the coins.

  1. Spread the coins one layer deep and keep other objects out of the frame.
  2. Upload the picture, or tap Take a photo on a phone and shoot straight down.
  3. Upload the photo and wait for the automatic coin count.
  4. Compare the dots with the coins and move Included markers if one is missing or extra.
  5. Select Add to tally, then name the row in the Tally tab, for example Saturday jar.

Count my coins from a jar, till float or collection

A photo of a full jar shows only the coins against the glass, so tip the change out first. Pour it onto a tray or cloth, spread it into one layer and photograph it in batches if it will not all fit in one frame.

Add each batch to the tally with its own label. The Total row adds the batches together, and the rows stay in this browser if you reload the page. For a till float, label each row by drawer or shift so it lines up with your cash sheet.

Count each coin type, then work out the money

Separate coins by denomination before photographing them. Upload a photo of each group, review its markers and add the checked count to a labelled tally row. This keeps the count for each type easy to compare with the coins in front of you.

The counter counts visible coins; it does not read their monetary values. Multiply each reviewed count by its face value yourself or in a spreadsheet. Similar-looking coins still need a visual check. Paper money is a separate job, and a page exists to count banknotes from a photo.

Fix the total and keep a record

If a dot sits on glare or a shadow, drag Included markers toward Only strongest. If a real coin has no dot, try dragging it toward Show more. The number updates without running the count again, and you can retype any tally row's Count later. The marked picture you download keeps the original markers, so add your corrected number to the tally first. Export CSV then saves the rows as a file with Label, Count and Counted At columns, and it works without an account. For other small things on the same table, browse the counting pages for each item.

Before you photograph the coins

  • Take everything that is not a coin out of the frame, or count tokens, stamps or other small items in their own photo.
  • Turn off the flash or angle the light, because glare on metal can show up as extra dots.
  • Keep every coin fully inside the frame and away from the edges of the photo.
  • Treat the result as a visual aid and follow your usual cash-handling check for official counts.
  • Keep the till paperwork with the count, and pull totals off the day's receipts when you need them in one place.

Pair the coin count with the day's paperwork by reading receipts into vendor, date and total, and for tokens, stamps or other small items, count anything by marking one example. Spread the coins one layer deep and review every marker before the total goes on a cash sheet.
