How to use the Online Money Counter
I have built this calculator to deliver usability as well as enough customization. I just want to mention that although you can select a currency, this is just a representation.
There's no currency exchange going on here so even if currency is set to USD
but you are dealing with CAD
, there's no impact to the result because this is just a label, what you are after are the amount or the numbers. Although, adding multiple currencies do reflect good visuals.

What is a banknote?
A banknote is also referred to as a "bill" or a "note", but commonly called as paper money. It comes with higher face value like 1,000
, 500
or 100
. Only the government's central bank of your country can generate or print these banknotes. A special type of paper is being used to create these money, and with the evolution of time, a polymer type of material is now being circulated to replace these older notes.
What is a coin?
While a banknote is made of paper or polymer which is a light material, of high face value and with rectangular orientation, a coin on the other hand, is made of a little heavier material, a little lower value and flat-circle like money. It has two sides, the head which shows the engraved image of a country's president or hero, and the tail which commonly has texts and engraved art or symbols. Common values of coins include 10, 5, 1 and 25¢.
