jtryka Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I only have a camera, and it's not easy or very effective. I would think a scanner might get the details better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan8402 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 There is a long thread ATS that describes scanner settings to get the best picture of currency, and a scanner's benefits over a camera. I believe the people that are serious about paper money all use scanners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfalfa-migration Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 To take clear images of your notes, scanning is the way to go. Both of the below images were made with an inexpensive Canon flatbed scanner: Fr 1251 face Fr 1251 back For detailed, step-by-step instruction on scanning notes, you can follow the below link to John's scanning tutorial on my site. http://CurrencyForums.net RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123cents Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I use a epson RX620 scanner. Works great with currency and modern proof coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
