We're excited to announce the alpha release of DataVault V2, a comprehensive global database of banknotes and coins with detailed security features and technical specifications.

DataVault V2 provides a searchable catalog of banknotes and coins from around the world, designed for numismatic collectors, currency researchers, and financial institutions.

Key features:

  • Detailed banknote records with security feature analysis — covering type, position, format, optical effects, machine readability, and more
  • Coin catalog with physical characteristics including shape, diameter, weight, edge type, and metal composition
  • Substrate and material classifications for banknotes (paper, polymer, composite)
  • Geographic organization by region, sub-region, and country
  • Currency and issuing authority data with support for multi-issuer currencies
  • Advanced search and filtering capabilities
  • Image galleries for banknote front and back designs

This is an alpha release — we're actively developing and refining the platform. We welcome feedback from early users to help shape the direction of DataVault V2.
