Currency and Coin Counters, Sorters and Discriminators

Making the counting and sorting of coins and bills faster and easier.  Making more money means counting more money and while making more money is fun, counting all of it takes up time that could be spent doing the things that having more money lets you do.  Here are some of the different ways to count and sort money. 

Counters and discriminators either count bills or coins, sort bills or coins or count and sort bills or coins.  Some coin counters also package by bagging or rolling.

Various counting methods are used: friction, optical sensors, coin diameter, coin weight.


Counting Currency

To use a currency counter, bills must be sorted first. Some counters require the bills to be inserted in one direction, others do not. This machine tells you how many bills you have regardless of the denomination.  It will not discriminate between singles and fives or twenties, etc.  The currency counter was designed for basic counting applications and simplicity of operation. Some operate at speeds of up to 1,300 documents per minute featuring touch sensitive controls, automatic start, variable batch presets, and grand total accumulation.

Sorting Bills and Coins

If you have mixed denominations of bills, then a machine that discriminates may be desired.  Three efficient modes of operation--Denomination Detect, Mixed and Count mode can process up to 1000 notes per minute.
Denomination Detect mode counts notes of a single denomination. The machine will sort out and count one denomination at a time. All other denominations are off-sorted to the reject pocket. This includes suspect and counterfeit bills. The reject pocket will enable continuous operation and increase productivity.
Mixed mode identifies and counts all denominations and provides a detailed summation of each currency and/or the total count.  This is also the slowest of the modes.
Count mode will count currency and most coupons or food stamps without using the denomination reading feature.  This is the fastest mode and is similar to a currency counter.
There are large machines that can discriminate, count and sort at the same time but the cost and size of these machines is prohibitive.

A coin sorter can process mixed coin at speeds up to 700 coins per minute. Using advanced alloy sensor technology they can also off-sort unwanted coins or objects from the coin mix. The most simple design sorts the coins by size dropping each coin in an appropriate slot. Some machines can also arrange the coins for rolling or bagging.

Counting Coins

The coin counting machine can count at speeds up to 1,800 coins per minute. Coins must be of one denomination as the counter will not sort or discriminate. This is especially useful if the coins are going to be recycled to a bill changer. In industries where the coins are exposed to a wet environment, they must be dried before counting. 

The coin counting scales can weigh any quantity of coin in seconds. Ideal for Coin Route Drivers, Car Washes, Laundromats and Amusement Centers, whether you are counting a $1,000.00 bag of quarters or a handful of dimes the speed and accuracy of a scale is amazing. The reason a coin scale is so fast is because the coins are not individually counted. The coins are weighed and then the total weight is divided by the recorded or constant weight of one coin. This gives a number which represents the number of coins. A scale can give a count accurately of any assigned coin, token or ticket denomination.  As with the counter, the coin scale can only accurately count one denomination or coin at a time.
