This document discusses using convolutional neural networks to detect currency. It presents the methodology which includes data pre-processing, training a CNN model using VGG-16, and testing the model. The CNN model achieved 98.5% accuracy in classifying currency notes from a training dataset divided into an 8:2 split for training and validation. Testing a scanned image through the trained model predicted the currency with high accuracy. CNNs were determined to have advantages over other methods for currency detection including not requiring manually extracted features.
