Discover Our Money Scales



Any business - that deals with cash transactions - knows that counting cash can be tedious and time consuming. It costs them valuable time but also leaves increases the risks of counting errors and inconsistent results. Safescan money scales are the answer! They are designed to count and process cash much more efficiently and accurately than we ever could by hand.

Why choose a money scale?


Money scales (or money counting scales) do more than just weight your coins and banknotes. They offer a multitude of features that streamline your workflow and make cash management significantly more efficient

A real-life example: A retail organisation with has four cash drawers that need to be counted every day. It takes their employees anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes to count one single cash drawer. This adds up to about 40 to 60 minutes of counting every single day. By implementing a money counting scale, they can count one cash drawer in just two minutes - which is up to seven times faster. Saving them roughly 30 to 50 minutes per day!

How does a money scale work?


Money scales are often referred to as money weighing scales, because that is what they do. They weigh your money. Instead of counting every single piece manually, money scales weigh sets of the same denomination, and determine the quantity by dividing the total weight of the set by the weight of one individual item. Its built-in calculator than multiplies the total quantity with the value of the item to determine the total value of the set.

1. Start by filling the coin cup with the smallest denomination (1p).
2. Place the cup on the device and wait until the screen shows the quanity and value.
3. Repeat this process for all your coins and them move on to your banknotes (starting with your £5 notes).
4. The money scale automatically goes to the next denomination for you.
5. Once you have counted everything in your cash drawer, the money scale will show you the total quantity and value.

Features That Matter


Money counting scales do more than simply way coins and banknotes. Safescan money scales offer precise value counting, advanced counting options, and detailed reporting to make your counting tasks easier than ever before.

Precise value counting for multiple currencies


Money weighing scales are true multi-taskers. While you are counting the different denominations it not only shows you the number and value of that specific denomination, but it also automatically adds the results to the total (of all denominations). All at the same time.

Money weighing scales have a selection of currencies pre-installed. This means that you can just simply change the currency in your settings if you have to count a different one. Perfect for small exchange offices or shops that are located close to (country) borders.

Advanced Counting Options


Money scales don’t only count loos coins and banknotes, but also count money bundles and non-cash items. Making it even easier for you to process all your items quickly.

Coin Bundles: Money scales can also value count bundled items such as coin bags and coin rolls. They can even automatically recognise which coin roll is added and can count rolls of different denominations together (for the most common coin rolls only). This means that you don't have to scroll through different denominations or set the weights yourself. Saving you extra time.

Banknote Bundles: To support quick and efficient counting money scale can also process bundled banknotes that are held together by clips or sleeves. Allowing you to put them on witout having to remove the clip or sleeve first.

Non-Cash Items: The Safescan 6175 can even process non-cash items such as vouchers, tokens, and chips. All you have to do is weigh your item, assign a value to it, and store it on the device. Next time, you can just count the items as you would your cash. Making you counting process even smoother and faster.

Detailed Reporting


Money scales make your administration easier by saving you a lot of time and effort. Once you have counted all your items, your money scale will show you a detailed overview of the results. You can then easily store, print, or export them (dependent on what storage and export functions your money scale supports), and add them to your administration.

Cash-up in one minute or less


By paring your money scale with special coin cups, you can cut the counting time of the device in half. Making it ten times faster than manual counting. How does it work? The device automatically recognises the weight of the cups (33.5 grams) and deducts it from the total weight. This means that you can take the cups out of your cash drawer and place them directly on the device - instead of taking out all the coins and moving them to one big cup first. This not only saves time, but also ensures that you do not accidentally drop and loose any coins.
