The Banknotes Map View can now colour countries by which substrate or security-feature value they match, instead of a single flat colour for every result.

  • Multi-select two or more values (with “Any” matching) in Substrate, Sub. Brand, Brand, Sub-Brand, or Effect Type, and a new Colour toggle appears above the map
  • Each selected value gets its own colour, with a legend showing how many countries match each one
  • Countries matching more than one of your selected values are shown in a neutral “Mixed” colour
  • Up to five values get their own colour at a time — enough to stay readable at a glance

See the Map View documentation for the full rundown.

Explore DataVault geographically

We've added a brand-new interactive World Map, giving you a visual, country-by-country view of DataVault's coverage across Banknotes, Coins, Cash (CIC), and Counterfeits. Hover or click any country to see what data is available, with a direct link through to the relevant records.

Map View for Banknotes, Coins, and By Suppliers

You can now switch your filtered results on the Banknote list, Coin list, and By Suppliers pages from a table to a map view. Apply any filter as usual, then toggle to Map to see your results plotted by country, with each denomination linking straight to its record. Map View is available to Premium and Enterprise subscribers.

  • New World Map page — cross-module coverage at a glance
  • Map View toggle on Banknotes, Coins, and By Suppliers, preserving your active filters
  • Eurozone countries are grouped and highlighted together on the Banknote map, since euro banknotes are shared across the Eurosystem
  • Country search, zoom/pan, and a copy-as-image button on every map

As always, we welcome your feedback on this new way of browsing the catalog.

For the techies, this is DataVault so far not including the database.

On list and filter pages across the site (banknotes, coins, security features, substrate, technology, supplier directory, and more), selecting several checkboxes in one filter and then changing a checkbox in a different filter could cause some of your original selections to quietly disappear — even though they were still valid. You'd have to notice, reopen the filter, and re-check them manually to get the correct results back. This is now fixed: once you've checked a filter option, it stays checked until you deliberately uncheck it.

Automatic monthly data updates

Cash in Circulation data for Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, Argentina, Australia, Colombia, Qatar, Kuwait, Botswana and Mexico is now pulled automatically on a monthly basis, keeping these countries current without manual re-imports.

We've also added a "Data as of" field, showing the true reporting period of the underlying data (as opposed to when it was last imported). This isn't limited to the automated countries above — any newly updated dataset, wherever it comes from, will show this field going forward.

Full transparency on data sources

We're rolling out a comments section documenting where a country's numbers come from — whether pulled live from a central bank feed, transcribed directly from published tables, or derived from annual report percentage breakdowns, including any calculations, known gaps, or limitations in coverage. Not every country has this yet; we're filling it in progressively rather than retrofitting everything at once, so expect more countries to get this detail over time.

Economic Indicators

World Bank Group released year 2025 for some of its indicators - Population, Adult Population, GDP, GDP per Capita, CPI and year 2024 for ATMs per 100,000 Adults, Bank Branches per 100,000 Adults.             

Keep refering to this announcement as we update it as soon as a new country is added to DataVault Cash.

New: Counterfeit Statistics on Country Pages

We've started rolling out Banknote Counterfeit Statistics on country pages, sourced directly from central bank annual reports and publications. This is an ongoing effort — coverage currently spans around 58 countries, with more being added as we source and verify the data.

  • Yearly trend chart and data table showing counterfeits detected, plus PPM (counterfeits per million genuine notes in circulation)
  • Denomination breakdown where reported — one line per face value, showing which notes are most targeted
  • Direct links to the original source report for each country

Where a central bank publishes only one of the two figures — a raw count or a PPM rate, but not both — DataVault estimates the missing value using DV Cash banknote circulation volume data. Estimated figures are clearly marked with an “est.” badge, so you can always tell an official published figure from a DataVault estimate.

Browse countries with counterfeit data available so far via the new Counterfeits link under the Banknotes menu.
