Can anyone recommend a good pocket magnifier?
Ive owned a great loupe for years. Its fantastic for details, but I'm looking for a bigger field of view. I dont have trouble seeing but I would like to enjoy the fine details of the artwork on some of my banknotes. Can anyone recommend a good magnifier?

Hello!
I use this
And it's perfect for coins
I don't use any magnifier for banknotes. Maybe a bigger one could be better than this.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. Im currently using a Bausch and Lomb 7x triplet and I love it! Im looking for a pocket magnifier not loupe that can give me a bigger field of view when looking at my banknotes so I can enjoy the back panel art work. I do scans of all my bills and can magnify on the computer but I find having the bill in hand is a much greater experience. Im wondering if anybody has had luck with the Leuchtturm 5x pocket magnifier. If im not mistaken they are made in Germany.
