FROM ONE COLLECTOR TO ANOTHER

I care for my coins.Who will care for my legacy?

Explore Coinish

Coinish began with two very personal concerns: my family’s future and my collection’s privacy.

Where will they find it?

Will my family know where my coins and certificates are kept?

How will they know what to do?

Will my family understand what I own and how to make informed decisions?

Who can they turn to?

Will my family know which dealers and advisers I trust?

My concern as a collector

I know where my coins are, what I paid, why certain pieces matter and who I trust. For a long time, I wasn’t sure how the people I love would find those answers.

For years, my answer was a local Excel spreadsheet and physical notes. They helped me keep track, but the important details were scattered. My collection made sense to me. I wasn’t sure it would make sense to anyone else.

Helping my family

Then I found that many other collectors felt exactly the same way. We love the history, the artistry and the pursuit. We also worry about leaving our families with something they don’t understand.

I decided to build Coinish for people like us: a place to organise our collections and put practical guidance beside it. What we own. Where we keep it. Who our families can contact. What they should do first.

It isn’t about telling our families what they must do. It’s about giving them enough context to make their own decisions with more confidence.

Keeping my information private

I was never comfortable putting details of my collection and investments online. That concern kept me using a local spreadsheet for years. I wanted useful tools without handing over information about what I own, what I spend or where I keep it.

Coinish grew from that need: a private home for my collection and the guidance I want to leave my family.

Keeping the key safe

I also wanted control over who could open my collection. That means keeping my password safe and arranging a secure way for someone I trust to access it when needed.

Privacy and planning for my family have to work together. A guide is only useful if the people I love can reach it.

Why I built Coinish

My hope is simple: less scattered paperwork, less worry about putting private information online, and a clearer path for the people we care about.

If that sounds familiar, Coinish was made with you in mind.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does Coinish keep my collection private?

Your collection is stored on your device and encrypted with the password you choose. You do not need an online collection account, and Coinish does not upload your collection to a cloud service.

You can organise your coins, add photographs, create your catalogue and prepare your family guide without an internet connection.

How do spot prices and currency conversions work offline?

You enter your spot prices and currency exchange rates manually, including the rates you want to use for purchases made in other currencies. Coinish uses your entries to calculate values and conversions on your device.

No online price feed or exchange-rate service is required. Your figures depend on the prices and rates you enter and update.

Does anything ever use the internet?

Managing your collection does not require internet access. Links to external websites and an optional update check may use the internet when you choose them; they are separate from your collection management.

Your collection information is not sent as part of those actions.

What does encryption protect, and what should I back up?

Encryption protects your stored collection while it is locked. After you unlock Coinish, its contents are available in the app. Protect your device and operating-system account as well.

Keep encrypted backups somewhere safe and keep your password available to you. If your device is lost or damaged, you will need a usable backup and the password to open your collection.

Does Coinish work on my device?

Coinish is available for Mac and Windows.

What if I forget my password?

There is no “Forgot password” service, central account or recovery key that can let you back in. If you lose your password and have no saved copy, access to your collection cannot be recovered.

Think of it like a physical key with no spare. Keep it somewhere safe; a backup of your collection does not replace your password.

How can my family access my collection?

Arrange a secure way for a trusted person to get your password, and tell them where to find your device, Coinish and your backups.

Once they can open the app, your Legacy guide can explain where your coins and certificates are kept, who your family can contact and what they should do first.

Are exported catalogues and letters encrypted?

No. A catalogue, spreadsheet or family letter you export is a separate file and is not protected by your Coinish collection password.

Store these files securely and share them deliberately. Anyone who can open an unprotected export may be able to read the information in it.

Your coins. Your legacy.
Your Coinish.
