CoinsWeekly News in the Coiniverse App

While Coiniverse focuses on cataloguing contemporary coinage, CoinsWeekly provides numismatic content. At a meeting during the World Money Fair 2024, both teams agreed that this would be an ideal combination. Less than two months later, we are already seeing concrete results: selected CoinsWeekly articles will now be available to the Coiniverse collecting community as a link in the Coiniverse app.

Juha Pihkakoski, Chief Growth Officer at Coiniverse, is excited about the new content: “We want to make coin collecting as fun as possible for our users. Of course, at the heart of our efforts is the Coiniverse coin database and the option to manage your collection through the app. The possibility to have your coin automatically identified – provided that there is already a specimen of that coin type in our ever-growing database – makes collecting much easier. And yet, we know exactly that collecting coins is a lot more fun when you know something about the background of a specimen. CoinsWeekly is known for its well-researched articles, which is why we are delighted to make selected articles available to our users free of charge.”

Ursula Kampmann adds: “We see ourselves as a bridge that connects all branches of numismatics. Coiniverse is primarily aimed at collectors of contemporary coins. Today, it has 140,000 registered users all over the world. We want to show these collectors the real potential of their hobby. After all, our articles are not just about which coins are rare and valuable. We prefer to talk about the historical and cultural messages they convey – both past and present. We see our partnership with Coiniverse as an opportunity to inspire new, young people to collect coins.”

The Coiniverse app is available for free in the Google Play Store and the App Store. It also offers the opportunity to connect with like-minded collectors from around the world. Coiniverse is an independent spin-off of the Mint of Finland and is currently partnering with ten mints.
