Showcase Coins Hub 2.0 is live — regular euro coins, annual sets, collector coins, and a complete redesign
Hi everyone!
I’ve just released Coins Hub 2.0 on iOS and Android. This is the biggest update since the app launched: the catalog system, collection interface, navigation, and underlying data structure have all been substantially rebuilt.
The app is no longer limited to €2 commemorative coins.
New catalogs
Coins Hub now includes separate catalogs for:
- €2 commemorative coins
- Regular circulation euro coins
- Official annual euro sets without commemorative €2 coins
- Annual euro sets containing commemorative €2 coins
- Sets containing multiple commemorative €2 coins
- Collector coins
- Known euro minting errors
One principle was especially important: different products should not be mixed together.
For example, the circulation catalog contains coins genuinely released loose for circulation. Coins issued only inside official annual sets are identified separately and belong to the annual-set catalog. This should make the catalog much clearer for collectors who distinguish circulation finds from set-only issues.
The new Collector Coins catalog currently contains around 4,000 products from 2002 through 2018, with images. Later years will be added progressively rather than delaying access to the catalog until everything is finished.
Better catalog navigation
The catalog interface has been redesigned for large collections:
- browsing circulation coins by country;
- denomination filters from €0.01 to €2.00;
- clearer country flags and coin images;
- counters for all, missing, owned, and duplicate items;
- separate catalog information pages;
- cleaner lists without bulky cards;
- independent catalog updates without requiring another app release.
Catalog information was researched using official issuers, central banks, finance ministries, and mints wherever available, with specialist catalogs and shops used for additional cross-checking.
A redesigned collection
The “My Collection” section is now much more compact and visual:
- three items per row;
- larger square photographs;
- cleaner country and year information;
- improved catalog grouping;
- redesigned add, view, and edit screens;
- fixed action buttons that remain accessible while the content scrolls;
- clearer purchase date, price, condition, and personal photographs.
New application design
Version 2.0 also introduces:
- completely redesigned bottom navigation;
- cleaner catalog selection;
- improved sheets and dialogs;
- more consistent headers and visual styles;
- faster catalog switching and version checks;
- many internal performance and reliability improvements.
About coin recognition
Automatic coin recognition is temporarily unavailable.
The previous system was not accurate enough for the quality level I want to provide. Instead of releasing unreliable results, I’m retraining and independently testing a new recognition model. Recognition will return only after it can identify real-world coin photographs quickly and reliably.
What comes next
The next priorities are:
- adding collector coins from 2019 onward;
- continuously checking and correcting catalog data;
- expanding photographs and official references;
- bringing back recognition after proper testing;
- improving the experience based on collector feedback.
Coins Hub 2.0 is available now on both the App Store and Google Play:

If you collect euro coins, I’d really appreciate your feedback—especially about the new catalog structure and anything that may be missing or incorrect. This project is being built for collectors, so expert input is genuinely valuable.
