New Note and Coin Database for Currency News

The online database that comes free with your subscription to Currency News™ (and its sister publications Coin & Mint News™ and Cash & Payment News™) has changed.

The new database – DataVault – is a proprietary on-line catalogue of all the world’s banknotes and coins, provided by International Reference Systems on a platform created and maintained by Regula. It offers a range of additional and complementary information to the news and analysis provided in the newsletters each month.

Key features of DataVault include:

• more than 1,800 banknotes in use in 220 countries, as well as information on withdrawn banknotes

• high resolution scans of original banknotes

• clear and detailed descriptions of each note, along with images of the front and reverse (under white, UV and IR light) with photographic enlargements of key security features 

• searchable by country, currency and ISO number, with advanced search facility that also enables notes to be searched by date of issue (and withdrawal), size, colour, text and issuing authority

• news of forthcoming issues, as well as most recently-issued notes

• circulating coins with details of colour and composition, year of issue, weight, diameter, edge details

• country sections include additional information data such as travel advice and alternative currencies in use 

• available in multiple languages.

One of the key benefits of the new service is that you no longer have to log-in separately. Once you are logged into the e-publishing platform, which comes as part of your subscription, then all you need to do is click on the link and you’re through.

Any queries about the new service should be addressed to: info@currency-news.com.
