What does a free currency appraisal app check?

It can triage whether the item is a coin, note, set, replica, commemorative, or mixed lot and whether professional review is useful.

Can photos prove currency value?

Photos can show many clues, but condition, originality, grade, rarity, and market demand may require specialist review.

Should I remove banknotes from holders?

Usually no. Photograph holders, labels, and both sides without adding handling damage.
