- Coin catalog with physical characteristics including shape, diameter, weight, edge type, and metal composition
- Substrate and material classifications for banknotes (paper, polymer, composite)
- Geographic organization by region, sub-region, and country
- Currency and issuing authority data with support for multi-issuer currencies
- Advanced search and filtering capabilities
- Image galleries for banknote front and back designs
This is an alpha release — we're actively developing and refining the platform. We welcome feedback from early users to help shape the direction of DataVault V2.
