1. A method of identifying a currency item, comprising the steps of:
providing a personal computing device having a connected and accessible image capture means and a user interface;
capturing at least one image of a target currency item using the image capture means on the device;
processing the at least one image of the target currency item to determine image quality by filtering the at least one image to detect design elements from the target currency item;
further processing the at least one image by:
assigning a coordinate map for the processed at least one image,
comparing individual pixels of the processed at least one image based on the assigned coordinate map to a database of reference currency images,
determining if a match is found between the at least one image and one or more reference currency images from the database, and
processing the individual pixels based on the coordinate map to provide identifying information including date data and minting mark data for the target currency item;
displaying on the user interface of the device the identifying information and currency match determination for the target currency item;
determining value information from a valuation database by comparing the identifying information and the currency match determination for the target currency item; and
displaying on the user interface of the device the value information determined for the target currency item.
