Pick the coins
We choose the coins together: ones Pingcoin can't test yet come first.

Ping each coin a few times in the app or on pingcoin.com/record, with a photo of each side.

Good reference data
Recordings collectors can rely on
Every test of the coin is compared with what you record, so it has to be right.
Genuine coins only
Record only coins you know are genuine, from the mint or a trusted source.
A quiet room
Background noise hides the ring. The app shows you how to ping a coin well.
Checked before use
We measure every recording and compare it with the coin's specifications first.

FAQ
Questions from partners
What is reference data?
Pingcoin recognises a coin by the frequencies it rings at. Those frequencies come from recordings of genuine coins of the same type. Your recordings become the reference every test of that coin is compared with.
Do I need special equipment?
No. A phone and a quiet room are enough. You record in the Pingcoin app or on pingcoin.com/record, which also takes a photo of each side of the coin.
Which coins can I record?
Any coin you know is genuine. Coins Pingcoin doesn't support yet help most, and so do more recordings of coins it already supports. Tell us what you have and we'll pick the coins together.
Where does my name appear?
On the coin's test screen in the Pingcoin app for iPhone and Android, below the result: "Reference data contributed by" with your shop, channel or name. It links to your website or channel. Each coin credits one partner.
Do you pay for recordings?
Not in cash. Partners get Pingcoin Pro for free, the credit and link in the app, and an affiliate code that earns a share of what the customers they refer spend.
What happens to my recordings?
We measure each one and check it against your coin's specifications before using it. Recordings that don't match, or coins that turn out not to be genuine, aren't used.
The coins you know can protect other collectors.
Record them, and get the credit every time they're tested.
