All tips on how to choose the best bill counting machine that’s right for you!

In this sort of guide you will find the best tips on how to choose the best bill counter according to your needs. In fact, we at SDSP are real experts in the sector and therefore we have decided to share some of our experience with you. Before giving you some of our pearls, however, we want to focus our attention on the activity of handling money.

Some people think that this is a vulgar activity, for this reason they prefer to use credit cards or entrust others with the task of paying for them or to withdraw the sum of money due. We would like to point out that those who think like that in general are a very small number of people, a number so narrow that it probably coincides with the same people who can take advantage of a wide availability of money, probably unlimited.

Despite this remote possibility, however, there are valid reasons why you should not handle cash. Money, in fact, passing from hand to hand and from pocket to pocket, could become contaminated with materials that we cannot even imagine having ended up on it. So handling money, banknotes or coins, is an unhygienic activity. How then do people protect themselves who cannot escape from handling their banknotes with their own hands because of their work?

It is precisely in these cases that the banknote counting machine is particularly helpful. If you are reading this in-depth analysis, in fact, you are most likely one of the people we indicated above. Let’s find out what are the tips to choose the best banknote counting device.

Features of a note counter

We can divide the main elements of a quality banknote counter into the following features at its disposal

Capacity

Usually almost all note counters have a capacity of 200 or 250 pieces at a time. In addition to this, they are capable of counting around 1000 banknotes per minute. An important feature that they may or may not have is the ability to count currency notes other than their own. Obviously this is an indispensable feature for some types of use rather than a useless feature for other situations

Detection of counterfeit

The money detector ability to understand whether a banknote is counterfeit or not is one of the most requested features of banknote counting machines. Those that have this function are also equipped with some particular elements thanks to which, for example, it is possible to control reflective fibers or holograms. Thanks to the MG sensors, instead, it is possible to establish the presence of magnetic ink. Finally, it is possible to check the validity of the watermark code, check the banknote size, the thickness and the transparency of the paper used.

Operation

At this point it is necessary to understand what happens when one of these money detector machines comes into operation.

1. Banknote counting: when a stack of banknotes is inserted into the hopper of the counter, the feed roller is put into action. At this point a second roller starts operating at a higher speed, while the low-friction flanges allow to feed one banknote at a time. After being counted, then, the money enters the stacker on the front of the machine.
2. Counting banknotes of different denominations: in order for the bill counter to be able to recognize the different banknote denominations, these must be organized in equal groups. At this point, the most advanced features of these money-handling devices come into operation, not only by measuring their weight approximately, but by means of load cells with precise calibration. To make the concept clearer, we can say that it is the activation of an electrical signal whose magnitude is proportional to the measured force. In this way, therefore, it is possible to weigh several different banknotes simultaneously. This happens thanks to the fact that the machine contains in its memory a detailed table of weights for each currency and denomination supported. Thus, therefore, it is possible to calculate the number of items weighed precisely.
