You have a shoebox of old banknotes. Some are National Bank Notes, a few are Fractional Currency, and you can't remember which ones you paid too much for. A spreadsheet gets messy fast once you want charter numbers, Friedberg numbers, images and purchase details in one place. CurrencyManage is Liberty Street Software's Windows program for cataloging a paper money collection.

Key features
A ready-made catalog of over 18,200 US and Canadian varieties
You don't type in every note yourself. The database covers US and Canadian paper money with hi-res images and values, and it is indexed by Friedberg number. US coverage includes Confederate money, Demand Notes, Military Payment Currency, Legal Tender issues, Gold and Silver Certificates, Federal Reserve Notes, Colonial and Continental Currency, and more.
Bank, city and state details for 14,000+ National Bank Notes
The program includes charter number, city, state and bank information for more than 14,000 National Bank Notes. Canadian coverage includes Bank of Canada and Dominion of Canada notes, chartered bank issues, spurious and expired bank issues, and provincial issues from Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Identify a banknote from a photo
Upload a photo of a US or world note and select Identify. The program names the note and gives relevant information, including an estimated value.
Search eBay auctions for the exact notes you want
Select the banknotes you're hunting for, then search current or completed eBay auctions with no typing. Completed results help you see what similar notes recently sold for.
Track details in more than 40 fields and attach four images per note
Record defects, purchases, sales and other details. You can store contact information for customers, dealers and grading services, then see every note bought from or sold to one contact.
Reports you can export or design yourself
Print checklists to see which notes you own, run a values report from the included values database, or group notes by signature. The report designer supports graphs, images and totals. Export to PDF, Microsoft Access, Excel or HTML, plus RTF, XML and text.
Add your own countries and varieties
The Types & Varieties Manager lets you add countries or varieties that aren't in the included database.
Who it's for
It suits collectors of US and Canadian notes, especially National Bank Notes, Confederates, Fractional Currency and MPCs. It also suits dealers who need to see what they bought from or sold to specific contacts. If you only own a handful of modern bills, it's more than you need.
