Series Analysis

Overview

The Series Analysis page (/cash/analyse/) lets you freely combine any mix of data series for a single country on one indexed chart — banknote totals, individual denomination volumes or values, coin totals, and economic indicators all together. Reach it from Cash → Series Analysis in the navigation, or from the Series Analysis button on any country dashboard.

Selecting Series

The left panel lists all available series for the selected country, grouped into four sections:

• Totals — Aggregate banknote and coin value and volume
• Banknotes — One row per denomination; tick Val or Vol (or both) independently
• Coins — Same, for coin denominations
• Economic Indicators — All indicators available for that country (ATM count, GDP, CPI, population, etc.)

Each section is collapsible. Tick any combination — the chart updates immediately as each series loads.

Indexed Chart

All series are normalised to the same scale using a base year = 100 index, regardless of their original units. This means you can directly compare the growth trajectory of, say, the €50 note volume against ATM count without any axis scaling issues. A value of 120 means that series is 20% higher than it was in the base year.

Year Range

The chart’s time range is automatically clipped to the overlapping window of all selected series: the start year is the latest first-year across all series, and the end year is the earliest last-year. If one series has a shorter history than the others, a “Range limited by” badge identifies which series is constraining the window and at which end.

Base Year

The base year defaults to the first year of the clipped range and resets automatically whenever the range changes. You can override it using the dropdown in the controls bar. The base year is always the first year where all selected series have a non-zero value.

Data Table

Click Data Table in the controls bar to reveal the underlying numbers in three modes:

• Raw Value — Actual figures in each series’ own units, shown in the column header
• Indexed (base = 100) — The same index shown in the chart
• YoY % — Year-on-year percentage change, colour-coded green/red

Excel Export

Enterprise-tier users can export the data table as an Excel file with three sheets (Raw Value, Indexed, YoY %) by clicking the Excel button in the data table header. The export reflects exactly the series and base year currently selected.

Use Cases

• Checking whether a specific denomination’s volume correlates with ATM deployment
• Comparing the growth of high-value notes against GDP or CPI
• Identifying which denominations drove overall cash growth in a particular period
• Exploring whether coin volumes track differently to note volumes over a business cycle
