Hi! Has anybody experience with registration for the vatican cfn shop? I registrated a week ago, had to fill in form and make picture with my ID card and webcam. But since I have not seen or heard anything. I can also not log in yet. Maybe someone knows how long this takes from experience?

Hi everyone!

Coins Hub is an independent, free coin-collecting application that I am currently developing almost entirely on my own. The app already includes a complete commemorative €2 catalog, personal collection tracking, a wishlist, specimen photos, statistics, and coin recognition from pictures.

But commemorative €2 coins are only the beginning.

The next stage of Coins Hub is to create new coin catalogs covering different countries, eras, denominations, and years of issue. Over time, we want to make the app useful for collectors across many different areas of numismatics.

Building an accurate and detailed catalog of the world’s coins is not something one person can realistically do alone. Coins Hub is therefore beginning to form a community of collectors and like-minded people who would like to help build an international platform together with us.

We are looking for:

🪙 Catalog contributors
Help with adding and verifying coins, issues, years, mints, mintages, specifications, varieties, and reliable sources.

🔎 Numismatic experts
People with strong knowledge of a particular country, historical period, coin series, denomination, or other specialized area who can help us design future catalogs correctly.

🌍 Translators and translation reviewers
Help reviewing and improving the application interface, catalog content, descriptions, and community posts in different languages.

📣 Community ambassadors
Help introducing Coins Hub in relevant Facebook groups, Reddit communities, forums, and other numismatic spaces where such posts are permitted.

📷 Photo and content contributors
Original coin photographs that you have the right to share, catalog corrections, descriptions, and useful educational content for collectors.

What to expect at this stage

We are currently beginning to form the first contributor team and collect applications. This does not mean that every accepted contributor will immediately receive a large assignment or instant access to every part of the platform.

The architecture of future catalogs still needs to be carefully designed. Different numismatic fields have their own requirements involving years, mints, strike types, varieties, metal composition, condition, packaging, and many other characteristics. We want to discuss these details with collectors who genuinely understand their areas of specialization.

There are already two areas where contributors can help immediately:

• reviewing, correcting, and expanding the existing commemorative €2 catalog;
• reviewing and improving the application translations—all current translations were initially prepared using machine translation and need to be checked by native speakers.

New catalogs and additional tasks will become available gradually as the required architecture and tools are completed.

Approved contributors will receive limited access to our web administration platform only for their assigned catalog, language, or area of responsibility. All changes will go through review before publication.

You can take responsibility for a small section or an individual task. There is no requirement to work every day or commit to a fixed schedule.

I want to be completely transparent: contributor participation is currently voluntary and unpaid. Coins Hub is free for collectors, has no advertising or subscriptions, and does not yet generate revenue. This is not a paid job offer.

In return, we want contributors to receive genuine authorship, recognition, and the opportunity to become part of the project:

• your name or nickname in catalog credits and the Contributors section;
• an optional public contributor profile and special badges;
• credit for translations, photographs, and catalog work;
• a voice in discussions about new catalog architecture, future features, and the direction of the project;
• early access to upcoming functionality;
• priority consideration for future paid assignments and ongoing roles when Coins Hub reaches sustainable revenue.

Public visibility will always be optional. Contributors will be able to use a nickname or remain anonymous.

Professional experience is not required. What matters most is an interest in numismatics, attention to detail, respect for reliable sources, and a desire to create something genuinely useful for collectors.

Interested?

Send me a private message, leave a comment, or contact me by email:

📧 innomobix@gmail.com

Please tell me a little about yourself:

• your country;
• the coins or numismatic fields you know best;
• the languages you speak;
• how you would like to contribute.

Even one carefully reviewed catalog section, a few corrections, one high-quality translation, or several original photographs can become an important part of Coins Hub.
