Discover our coin counters



Every business that handles coins knows how tedious they are to count, especially by hand. It takes valuable time and is prone to errors, which often leads to discrepancies in your books. Safescan coin counters offer the solution. They count coins much faster and more accurately than anyone can by hand, saving you time and reducing counting errors.

What is a coin counter?


A coin counter is a machine designed specifically to count coins. It recognizes different denominations and their value to count them accurately. Advanced coin counters also work as coin sorters: they move each denomination through its own slot and drop it into a separate coin cup.

Why choose a coin counting machine?


Coin counting and sorting machines, also known as coin counter sorters, are extremely efficient. They save you valuable time and reduce the risk of errors.

A real-life example: a youth sports club has three vending machines at its concession stand. Every week, volunteers empty the machines and count hundreds of coins by hand, and they also have to double-check that every denomination is sorted correctly. That takes about 45 minutes per vending machine, or more than two hours in total. With a coin counter, they cut that time to less than 5 minutes.

How does a coin counter and sorter work?


Coin counters may seem complex, but they are actually quite simple:

1. Pour your coins into the hopper.
2. Press start, and the internal sorting disc starts to turn.
3. Each coin fits through only one of the sorting slots.
4. After passing through the slot, the coin is counted and dropped into its own coin cup.
5. When all coins are counted and sorted, the total quantity and value appear on the display.

Features That Matter


The main job of a coin counter is counting and sorting coins. Safescan coin counters add features that make processing your coins even faster and more reliable, including batch counting, detailed reporting, and easy exporting.

Convenient Batch Counting


Most coin counters can create quantity batches. These are useful for preparing your cash drawers or filling coin bags and coin wrappers.

How does batch counting work? Press the batch button and enter the number of coins you want in each batch. The coin counter automatically stops counting and sorting when that number is reached. That is ideal for retail and hospitality businesses that prepare cash drawers, roll coins, or refill vending machines.

Clear Results for Easier Bookkeeping


Coin counters do more than speed up counting. They also make your bookkeeping easier and more accurate. When the machine has finished counting and sorting, the display shows the results, so you can enter them directly into your records.

The Safescan 1250 Coin Counter and Sorter


If you want to process all your coins quickly, the Safescan 1250 is a great option. It counts and sorts mixed U.S. coins, from pennies to dollar coins, at up to 220 coins per minute and shows the total value. That makes it a great fit for stores, restaurants, laundromats, and other businesses that handle a lot of coins.

Frequently Asked Questions


Do I need to sort coins before using a coin counter?

That depends on the model. Most coin counting machines, like the Safescan 1250, also work as coin sorters and automatically sort your coins into separate cups or tubes by denomination.

What types of coins can a coin counting machine process?

Most coin counting machines process coins from a single currency, such as U.S. coins. There are also coin counters that count any round coin or token, but these usually count quantities only.

How accurate are coin counters?

The internal sorting disc of a coin counter sorter guides each denomination to the correct slot. This process is very precise and far more accurate than counting and sorting by hand.

How fast is a coin counter?

Most coin counters for businesses count and sort between 200 and 500 coins per minute. Heavy-duty machines used by banks can process more than a thousand coins per minute.

Can coin sorting and counting machines detect counterfeit coins?

No. Coin counting machines are designed to count and sort coins. They cannot identify fake coins.

Do coin counters require regular maintenance?

Check your coin counter regularly for dust and dirt, and clean it when needed.

What features should I consider when choosing a coin counter?

What coin counter best fits your business depends on your needs. Important questions to ask yourself are:

- Do I also need to sort my coins?
- Do I need to count sorted or mixed coins?
- How many coins do I need to process?
