TRY IT ON YOUR OWN BILLS

The first 5 scans are free and nothing is held back — print-run rarity, value ranges, the collection, stack mode, all of it. Check your own money, decide whether it works for you, and only then decide whether to pay.

ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION

$4.99, once. Not a year, not a week — once. Every other app in this corner of the store bills you again next year.

BUILT ON OFFICIAL DATA

Print-run figures come from the BEP's own monthly production reports, 2002 to today, plus the published collector record back to 1935. Every serial range shipped in the app was cross-checked against the quantities printed alongside it — if the arithmetic didn't agree, the row didn't ship.

RareBill also tells you what the lookup sites don't: small print runs are released in consecutive packs, so a low run number is not the same as a scarce note.

Values are estimates from published price guides, not appraisals. RareBill is a reference tool for collectors: it makes no claim about whether a note is genuine, and it does not check your note for printing errors — the guide explains what to look for and leaves the judgement to you.

Your camera never leaves your phone. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored.
