Money makes more sense when you can see it.
Cash by Country is possibly the world's least boring currency site. It turns exchange rates into colorful, practical pictures of the notes and coins travelers may actually carry.
A visual currency converter
Traditional converters give you a number. Cash by Country goes a step further by showing how that value can look as paper money, pocket coins, and a playful cash stack. It is designed for curious travelers, planners, students, and anyone learning a new currency.
Original, recognizable artwork
Our illustrated money uses denomination, color, and cultural motifs to make currencies easier to recognize without reproducing real banknotes. The artwork is original, intentionally stylized, and never legal tender.
Reference rates, not promises
Exchange rates are reference values and may differ from the amount offered by a bank, card provider, cash exchange, or payment service. Fees, spreads, rounding, market changes, and provider rules can all affect the final price. The site is an educational travel tool, not financial advice.
How the travel guides are researched
Each country guide starts with the institutions closest to the subject: central banks for currency, government and customs sites for rules, and official transport or tourism sources for local payment details. The useful sources are linked from the guide so readers can check a rule at its source when it matters. We separate stable background from details that can change, such as fares, fees, exchange rates, and card acceptance.
AI-assisted tools may be used during drafting and illustration. Published material is reviewed and edited by Cashbycountry by S. Torset, which retains editorial responsibility. Factual travel guidance is checked against relevant sources before publication.
How the site is funded
Cash by Country is free to use and may be supported by clearly identified advertising and selected affiliate links. A qualifying affiliate booking may earn the site a commission without changing the visitor's price. Commercial relationships do not determine which currencies are shown, how conversions are calculated, or how the illustrated money is designed.
Who is behind Cash by Country
Cashbycountry by S. Torset is an independent project based in Asker, Norway. The site combines original illustration, practical travel research, and a curiosity about the money people actually meet on a journey.
