jasonvending Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello all, I just got my first bulk candy machine located today at a hair salon @ 25% commission to the owner. Any suggestions on the best way to count the quarters? Anyone recommend a good affordable change counter? Thanks in advance. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusherman Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 welcome to the board jason. honestly you need to wait until you have many, many, many more machines out there before you worry about a counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V.O. Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well I know at some grocery stores you can do it, but they take a percentage of what you what sorted. Checked some out on eBay this looks decent: http://cgi.ebay.com/HOME-OR-OFFICE-COIN-CHANGE-SORTER_W0QQitemZ140164710617QQihZ004QQcategoryZ294QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, but won't it be awkward to count the quarters one by one in front of the owner to give him his 25%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Walmart and other stores sell a cheapie coin counter by Royal Sovereign. It's electric and sells for about 75 bucks. You won't want to take it on locations but it's great for counting your coins at home. You can take one of the quarter tubes with you to quick count for commissions on location. We ran over 60,000 quarters thru one of these before I had to take it apart and clean it out. I ran over 100,000 quarters thru it all told, before we upgraded to a professional counter. chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's coin loader has a capacity of about 600 coins, and it sorts "up to" 300 or so a minute. I originally found it for $250 bucks, but after some lucky searching, discovered it at my local Sam's on sale for $85. It has 4 rows of each type of coin, and automatically pushes out a row when a certain coin type has filled. Works for me! Of course, I'm not moving hundreds of thousands of coins yet :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
