Indian Currency Recognition Dataset
Overview
The Indian Currency Recognition Dataset is a publicly available dataset designed for researchers and developers working on currency classification, currency recognition, and counterfeit currency detection using computer vision and deep learning.
The dataset contains high-resolution images of multiple Indian currency denominations captured under real-world conditions. It includes both old and new currency notes and has been augmented to improve model generalization.
