He catalogued his wife's inherited coin collection with an app that scans each coin and looks up what it is worth
His wife was left a massive box of coins by her late grandfather many years ago, and they had never catalogued them.

It can filter views, track where each coin is physically stored, and show graphs of the total value and the breakdown by coin type.
