Banknote Collection Manager

Notaphily is the study and collection of paper currency and banknotes, while a notaphilist is a collector of banknotes or paper money, particularly as a hobby. Banknote Collection Manager comes as a must-have app for anyone that calls himself a notaphilist, as it lets you keep tabs on every aspect of your money collection.

Once you first open the program, you may get the wrong impression that this is just another one of those database-type programs which are a dime a dozen on the Internet.  While admittedly this was the first impression here as well, everything changed once the "New" button was pressed. The purpose of this Banknote Collection Manager is to keep tabs on all the paper currency, both local and foreign, that you collect, holding data regarding everything from dimensions, material, year, value as compared to the US dollar, watermark, location, etc. This attention to details makes this app especially useful when you have rare banknotes in your possession, as you no longer have to worry about analyzing them over and over for details and risk of deterioration.

Along with written details, you may also save other data, including snapshots of the front and the back of the banknote. Once all the static data has been registered, you also have the option of writing down personal notes regarding that particular banknote, such as where you found it or how much it is currently worth at a pawn shop. Just as you would take care of the fragile pieces of exotic paper currency, so does this software solution take care of the databases where you store all the details about your collection. For example, you can open it whenever you want; compress, repair, backup and restore the database without the use of any other software solutions.

Considering how many details you can register about the currency you want to add to your collection, Banknote Collection Manager can be arguably considered a must have for any self-proclaimed notaphilist.  The built-in security features are also a bonus, allowing this app to save up some disk space on in your digital library which would otherwise be used on a database recovery software tool.
