How to take a photo of a coin/banknote for optimal recognition?
· Place the coin or banknote on a white background (for example, on a sheet of white paper).
· Hold the phone parallel to the coin/banknote.
· If the image is blurry (unsharp), retake the photo. In low light conditions, turn on the flashlight or flash on your phone (You can do it directly from the app).
· It is unnecessary to hold the phone as close as possible so that the coin/banknote occupies the entire square. However, make sure that it’s fully inside the square shown on the screen. The coin must not emerge outside the square.
· In some cases, the flash is reflected in the coin or banknote as in a mirror. In this case, turn off the flash.
· Please note, that the app cannot recognize tokens, medals, copies of non-existent coins, stamps, notes, and other objects.
