Visually impaired community rely on many artificial aids which allow them to lead an average life in the complex modern society. Identification of currency notes is of utmost importance in this regard and many electronic currency note recognizers have been developed. Nevertheless, a compact, accurate and a cost effective recognizer optimized for local currency notes is highly preferred. In this paper we present the design of a less complex recognizer based on colour detection, thus avoids the expensive and bulky hardware. The test results demonstrate the designed note identifier to be performing in par with the existing similar products while it is capable of being used as a very handy handheld device.
