This mobile app is an interactive tool for exploring the Bank of Russia notes in circulation, as well as their security features. You can find a specific banknote in our catalogue or use your device’s camera to scan a banknote or its image to identify its denomination and modification year. Now the application can locate security features on 1,000-ruble and 5,000-ruble notes modified in 2010, and 2,000-ruble notes. Please note that the application does not verify the authenticity of a banknote.
