BanknoteArchives.com is a repository for banknote auction catalogs in the digital domain. Its goal is to make banknote-related auction data, including textual lot descriptions, images, and prices realized, available to Internet users for both academic and commercial research.

BanknoteArchives was created in 2026 to serve the needs of paper money collectors and dealers. It follows in the model of CoinArchives, our long-established archive of coin auctions.

CoinArchives.com was launched in October 2002 by A.J. Gatlin, a coin collector and enthusiast in the field of information science. Like many businesses, it started as a hobby.

CoinArchives was a pioneer in the preservation of numismatic data and in the application of modern search engine technology to make this information available online. The site was quickly embraced by an international audience of collectors, dealers, and researchers.

At the beginning, CoinArchives contained only auctions of ancient coins, but soon expanded to include coins of the modern world in November of 2003.

On 15 July 2009, CoinArchives Pro was launched as a subscription service based on the original site. This was soon followed by CoinArchives Pro Academic Edition, intended to support non-profit researchers. This marked the beginning of CoinArchives as a commercial venture.

When the site was first launched in 2002, the database contained fewer than 30,000 auction lots. Now, the database size is measured in millions of records.

As a successful family-run business, CoinArchives continues to expand its auction coverage, features, and clientele.

BanknoteArchives and BanknoteArchives Pro are operated by CoinArchives, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company.
