Learn more about our coin counters and sorters


Coin counters have become indispensable for businesses where accurate and efficient cash handling are key. But what makes these devices so special, and how do they work? Read along to discover more and learn how you can choose the perfect coin counters and sorters for your business.

What is a coin counter?


Coin counters are electronic devices designed to count coins. They work by identifying different denominations and counting their total quantity. Many coin counters - including ours - take it one step further and also function as coin sorters.

What is a coin sorter?


Coin sorters not only count your coins, but also sort them based on their denomination. But how does this work? Each coin denomination has its own size, thickness, and shape. Coin sorting and counting machines are designed with a sorting wheel that contains individual slots, made to match the characteristics of the different denominations. The sorting wheel quickly rotates, so the denominations fall through their matching slot and into their dedicated cup. In just a matter of minutes, all your coins are counted and sorted. Ready for you to process them.

What are the benefits of using a coin sorting and counting machine?


There are many benefits to automating your coin counting and sorting process. Perhaps the biggest reason for people to use a coin counter machine is that it saves them a lot of time. Counter sorters can count anywhere from hundreds to thousands of coins per minute. A speed which is unattainable when counting your coins manually.

Besides being faster, coin sorting and counting machines are also far more accurate than any manual counting method. Using them ensures that you always get precise results without risking human errors.

As most coin counters also sort coins, they significantly increase your efficiency. Performing two actions in one go, while simultaneously simplifying the preparation process of your cash drawers and deposits. Saving you valuable time and money in the long run. This not only makes them super efficient, but also very cost-effective.

Additionally, most counter sorters are very easy to use. All you need to do is place your coins in the hopper and press the start button. Anybody can do it. No training necessary.

FAQ’s about counter sorters


1. How fast are coin counters and sorters?
Coin sorting and counting machines are very vast. The most common devices used in retail environments can count and sort between 200 and 500 coins per minute. More heavy-duty devices (used at banks) can process more than a thousand coins per minute.

2. How accurate are counter sorters?
The internal transport disc in counter sorters ensures that all denominations are carried to the correct coin slots. This process is very precise and accurate. Much more so than if were to do it by hand.

3. Do coin counters work for all currencies?
Most coin counters are designed for one specific currency. However, there are also options available that count multiple currencies. These usually cannot calculate the value of coins, but simply count the total quantity.

4. Can coin sorters detect fake coins?
The main purpose of counter sorters is to count and sort coins. They cannot identify fake coins, but they might reject some if the size of the coin deviates too much from the standard.

5. Can counter sorters process more than coins?
Most counter sorters only process coins. There are also coin counting machines that can count tokens, or even banknotes (money counting scales). However, they can only count these items and not sort them. There are separate cash handling machines available for those who want to count and sort banknotes.
