Money Counter Guide
Why use a currency counter?
Trying to count money by yourself can take a long time, not to mention the high possibility of counting errors. Currency counters save time and money by quickly and accurately counting money. These machines can be found in banks, schools, businesses and churches.
Currency counters consist of bill counters and coin counters. Some bill counters are built with counterfeit detection built into them. You will need to ask yourself a few questions before choosing a currency counter that best suits you.

What should I consider before purchasing a currency counter?
What do you want to count?
You will need to take into account that most bill counters are designed to work with U.S. currency. Although many bill counters can count currency from other countries, the counterfeit security features may not work. You will want to investigate what security features your country uses before purchasing a bill counter.
Coin counters are also designed to work with U.S. currency. Coin counters are not built with any counterfeit detection hardware.
How often will you need to count money?
Different currency counters are built with different counting speeds. If you are counting money often, you may want to purchase a bill counter with a large duty cycle and counting speed. Purchasing more than one currency counter will help you count money even faster.
How much security do I need?
Counterfeit money is a growing problem. If you feel that you may be subject to counterfeit money now or in the future, you may want to purchase a currency counter that has built-in counterfeit detection. Counterfeit detection will let you know if the money you are counting is legitimate. Different currency counters are available with different grades of counterfeit detection.
