Coin ID Scanner app is stealing Numista pictures (and probably coin descriptions and other information) without permission. Here are five examples of stolen pictures:
The same is with Numisquare . com ?(I don't want to add link here).
I checked some Gibraltar and IOM coins and they copied everything some months ago, even with some spelling errors that I made (and later corrected on Numista).

Same images and all (which do require attribution they haven't bothered with). You're also right about it being out of date, I see quite a few pages that I've since changed. Interestingly, their lettering fields don't seem to work (or were never copied over), and on the linked page above, they accidentally copied the signatures from a note from Saudi Arabia. Real quality website right there, hope it gets dealt with quickly.
EDIT:
Turns out, they're also removing the watermarks from images, real classy work.
Numista's image, CGB watermarkThe Other Site, watermark curiously missing…
"Be kind, rewind."
Numista referee for banknotes from Greece, Crete & the Ionian Islands.
I have noticed that certain banknote images taken from numista have been added to banknote museum, by third parties, though I guess it doesn't matter so much as banknote museum allows us to use their images.
As long as it is not commercial, I guess it doesn't violate the creative commons share alike rules under which many images are shared.
That's not true. Creative commons lisence require the indication of the source. What is more, when I asked for permission from some website, thay allowed but only for Numista. Not for any other websites which simply steal these photos. Also a lot of photos (I guess most of) are not with CC licenses applied so the copyright is broken.
