We have used mobile phones rear camera to take the images of Indian and Thai banknotes. The processed image dataset consists of 2900 images (1900 images of Indian banknotes and 1000 images of Thai banknotes). The processed dataset consists of 10 classes namely 10 New, 10 Old, 20, 50 New, 50 Old, 100 New, 100 Old, 200, 500, 2000 of Indian banknotes and 5 classes namely 20, 50, 100, 500, and 2000 for Thai banknotes. The images were taken at the different backgrounds and in different lighting conditions, in the cluttered background, and also the images of folded banknotes are taken. This dataset is very useful for researchers who are working in currency detection and recognition.
