Discover Our Coin Counters



All business that deal with coins know how tedious they can be to count. Especially when done manually. Not only does it cost them valuable time, but it is also very error-prone which often leads to inconsistencies in their books. Safescan coin counters offer the perfect solution. They are designed to count coins much quicker and more accurately than we even could by hand. Saving businesses value time and elimating any chance of errors.

What is a coin counter?


Coin counters are machines that are specifically designed to count coins. They can recognise different denominations (and their value) to count them all accurately and precisely. Advanced coin counters can also serve as coin sorters. They sort coins by transporting the different denominations through dedicated slots and placing them in their own separate cup.

Why choose a coin counter?


Coin sorting and counting machines (or counter sorters) are extremely efficient. They save the user valuable time and eliminate all the risks of potential errors.

A real-life example: A sports club has three vending machines in their canteen. Every week they empty out the machines and manually count hundreds of coins. The volunteers of the club not only need to count all the coins, but also double check that all denominations are sorted correctly. A job that costs them roughly 45 minutes per vending machine. That’s more than 2 hours in total. By using a coin counter, they can cut that time down to less than 5 minutes. That’s far more efficient and a lot easier!

How does a coin counter and sorter work?


Coin counters may seem complex, but are actually pretty simple:

1. It starts by placing your coins on the hopper of the machine.
2. When you press start, the internal sorting disc will start to turn.
3. Each coin only fits through one of the sorting slots.
4. Once they have passed through the slot, they are counted and placed in their own coin cup.
5. Once all the coins have been counted and sorted the total quantities and value are displayed.

Features That Matter


Coin counters mainly count and sort coins. Safescan coin counters additional 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 also be used to create quantity batches. These are helpful for preparing your cash drawers, or to create coin bags and rolls.

But how does batch counting work? Simply press the batch button and enter the quantity of coins you want your batches to have. The coin counter will now automatically stop counting (and sorting) when the quantity has been reached. Perfect for retail and hospitality environments that need to prepare cash drawers, coin rolls, or fill vending machines.

Detailed Reporting and Easy Exporting


Coin counters speed up your cash counting, they also significantly improve your administration. Making it easier and more accurate than ever before. Once the machines are done counting and sorting your coins, they will present you with a detailed overview of the results. Allowing you to easily copy the results to your own software and administration. Some coin sorting and counting machines can even print your results (when connected to a compatible receipt printer). Making it even easier to process them.
