About the Banknotes Counter
The banknotes counter counts visible banknotes from your photo and marks detections for review. Counting starts automatically once the photo and item are ready. Visibility, overlap and similar-looking items can affect the total. Built for shops, cash offices, venues and event teams.
How It Works
1. Photograph your banknotes
2. Upload your photo to count banknotes automatically
3. Review the markers and correct the tally if needed
4. Add to the tally sheet and export your count as CSV
Perfect For
• Draft till and cash-office counts before manual verification
• Reviewed reconciliation tallies with a marked reference image
• Cash handover records between shifts
• Support for a count that must still be verified by hand
Counting banknotes fanned out or spread on a counter
Banknotes are counted from a photo when a till, cash office or event float needs a quick draft before the hand count, or when a marked image helps a handover between shifts. The count is notes, not money: the counter finds note shapes, and turning them into a value by denomination is your step. For high-volume bundles, a note-counting machine and your normal cash-control process remain the right tool.
Spread the notes on a plain counter so each one shows at least a clear strip, or fan them in a single arc with the same edge exposed on every note. Notes lying exactly on top of each other cannot be counted from above. Denominations differ in color and size, so mark one note of each value in Similar items, up to three per photo; the Found per example rows give a split to check and multiply out. For more denominations, clear the examples, mark the rest and count the same photo again.
Enter each denomination as its own tally row with the value in the label, and treat the result as a draft that a person verifies by hand. Coins from the same till go on the coin counter, and event tokens or drink vouchers can join the same tally.
Before photographing notes
- Notes spread or fanned so every note shows
- One to three denominations marked per count
- A plain surface with no pattern
- A hand count to confirm the draft
Frequently asked questions
- Does it work on a loose pile?
- It can only mark the visible layer. Spread items one layer deep, mark a clear example, and review and correct the result markers. Treat a visible-face count on a large pile as an estimate and use the same framing between checks.
- Can it replace a note-counting machine?
- For fanned-out or spread notes it produces an AI-assisted draft tally and marked photo for manual review. Check every marker and correct misses or duplicates. For high-volume bundled cash, use a note-counting machine and the normal cash-control process.
- What if the photo has more than just banknotes in it?
- The counter automatically looks for banknotes in your photo. Similar-looking distractors can still affect the result, so review every marker before using the total.
- Can I count several photos into one total?
- Yes — count each photo and add every reviewed result to the tally sheet as a labelled row. Export the tally as CSV or a PDF report, or save it to your account.
- Is it free and private?
- Yes. You can count, review and download a free result without an account. Downloads are free without a watermark. No signup required. Server-processed photos are encrypted in transit and removed under our Security policy.
