Coin Counter Reviews?

Just a simple Royal Sovereign FS-40A About $100 and sorts up to 40.00 automatically and rolls

That would take forever with alot of counts. I use a magner 110 for my sorting and a belita for single counts and rolling.

Both are about 600 coins per minute. I would like to eventually get a cummins jet sort for the sorter.

It does about 400 coins a minute. Leave it come back when they are rolled. U R Right though, not for extremely high volume.

i am using cassida c100 at the moment. I have some problems with it. 1. when you coin with these coin counters, you are telling people that you have money(cause they make noises. i mean alot of noises). 2. they usually need an outlet. 3. it is just not fast enough for me. it is doing 300 coins/ min. I have most accounts in bad neighborhood and it attracts alot of attention, maybe this doesnt apply to you. i d k. I have been thinking about switching to coin scale and sell this c100 out

I started with a plastic hand operated royal sovereign, then got the royal sovereign electric counter with 40.00 at a time. Two years ago I got a Klopp Coin Scale 60lb and it was the best $450 I ever spent. Saved a ton of time servicing.

I am thinking about a hand crank or electric sorting machine to sort out quarters from nickels, dimes, and other change.

for small stops i use a 10lb lightweight small scale

for larger stops where speed and time is a issue

I use a brandt / delarue kicks out pennies, dimes, tokens and leaves the quarters i modifed mine with a magnet strips to pick up canadian.

here is a link

http://www.walmart.c...-Scale/16486675

this works great 1/2 lb is 10.00 1 lb is $20.00

99% accurate and good for fast counting on the go

That's a good deal.

At that price it's practically disposable.

But, since you don't want to lose your scale half-way through a busy day of servicing, I would only worry about the fact that there is no carrying case to protect this unit from the rigors of loading/unloading the work-truck.

Did you buy a case for this or do you take it on location as-is?

So how do you guys that uses scales pay the commission to the location. I roll quarters with my counter. Do you roll them by hand with the scale, or just give them to them in bulk?

I give them loose quarters in bulk.

But, I put them in small paper bags purchased at Sams.

I have a self-inking stamp from Vista Print that reads "Thank you, from --- ---" (my business name).

I stamp the bag and write the cash amount on the bag.

Never had a complaint from a location doing it this way.

I use a manual Klopp counter / wrapper and love it. I take on the road to count each location to chart location performance, do a total count for the day and then wrap. Some of the best money I ever spent on coin handling, really saves a LOT of time.

I bought two 6 digit stamps from office depot that I use to stamp the coin wrappers with my account number, drop the coins off at the bank for deposit and no commissions.

There is a machine that is electric that is made by several companies like Brandit, that will count / wrap and sort (not all at the same time), that you can get for $200-250. I've considered getting one just to sort out foreign coins, but it's really not that much of a problem, I get about 2 foreign coins every 1000 coins.

I use a Klopp model CE. That's the electric motor one, I've also owned the CM(hand crank) and prefer the electric one. It's heavy enough to hold a bag of $1000 in quarters without falling off the table.

I'd suggest going with a used one, since $1300 for a new one is a bit steep.
