About
World of Banknotes is a feature-rich collection management application built specifically for banknote and paper money collectors. Available on Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS, the software allows users to create and maintain comprehensive electronic catalogs of their collections. Each banknote entry supports over 50 descriptive properties, multiple high-resolution images, file attachments (such as PDFs and Word documents), and external web links, making each record as informative as possible. The application integrates seamlessly with the Hobbykeeper personal web area (my.hobbykeeper.com), enabling two-way synchronization so collectors can access and edit their collections from any device. A built-in image viewer allows detailed inspection of each note, while an Excel import feature makes it easy to migrate existing records into the system. Beyond cataloging, World of Banknotes includes transaction tracking for purchases and sales, complete with buyer/seller details, pricing, and multi-currency support — plus auto-generated income and expense reports. Users can also build and share reference catalogs with other collectors in the community. Whether you're a casual hobbyist or a serious numismatist, this tool brings structure, accessibility, and detail to your paper money collection.
