This paper proposed a method to recognize Iraqi currency by computing the average of each color (RGB) for each currency paper. The average of the color will compare with a database that already has been stored in the system. This database includes the average color of each currency. The comparison will use the correlation to find the minimum error. To improve the system and get more accurate results, the color system will convert to HSV system and use the same steps that applied to the RGB color system. Compare the result that we got from two color system to take the last decision. Matlab environment 2011a has been used in this system.
