Steps to reproduce

The dataset can be reproduced by downloading and extracting the images from Mendeley Data, organizing them by denomination and class labels (genuine or counterfeit), resizing images to a fixed resolution, and splitting them into training and testing sets. The images can then be used directly for binary classification or anomaly detection experiments using standard machine learning or deep learning models.
