Discover our money scales



Every business that handles cash knows that counting it can be tedious and time-consuming. It costs valuable time and increases the risk of counting errors and inconsistent results. Safescan money scales are the answer. They count and process cash far more efficiently and accurately than anyone can by hand.

Why choose a money scale?


Money scales, also known as money counting scales or cash counting scales, do more than weigh your coins and bills. They offer a range of features that streamline your workflow and make cash management significantly more efficient.

A real-life example: a store has four cash drawers that need to be counted every day. Employees need 10 to 15 minutes to count a single cash drawer, which adds up to 40 to 60 minutes of counting every day. With a money counting scale, they count one cash drawer in just two minutes, up to seven times faster. That saves them roughly 30 to 50 minutes a day.

How does a money scale work?


Money scales are sometimes called money weighing scales, because that is exactly what they do: they weigh your money. Instead of counting every coin or bill by hand, the scale weighs a set of the same denomination and calculates the quantity by dividing the total weight by the weight of a single item. The built-in calculator then multiplies the quantity by the denomination's value to show the total value.

1. Fill the coin cup with the smallest denomination (pennies).
2. Place the cup on the scale and wait until the display shows the quantity and value.
3. Repeat this for all your coins, then move on to your bills, starting with your $1 bills.
4. The money scale automatically moves to the next denomination.
5. When you have counted everything in your cash drawer, the money scale shows the total quantity and value.

Features That Matter


Money counting scales do more than weigh coins and bills. Safescan money scales offer precise value counting, advanced counting options, and detailed reporting to make counting easier.

Precise Value Counting for Multiple Currencies


Money scales are true multitaskers. As you count each denomination, the scale shows the number and value of that denomination and automatically adds the result to the overall total.

Safescan money scales come with several currencies pre-installed, and more currency packages are available to download for free. To count a different currency, simply change it in the settings. That is ideal for currency exchanges and for businesses near the Canadian or Mexican border that accept other currencies.

Advanced Counting Options


Money scales count more than loose coins and bills. They also count bundled cash and non-cash items, so you can process everything quickly.

Coin Rolls: money scales can value count coin rolls and coin bags. They can even recognize which coin roll you add and count rolls of different denominations together (for the most common coin rolls). You do not have to scroll through denominations or set weights yourself, which saves you extra time.

Bundled Bills: money scales can also count bundled bills held together by a clip or currency strap, so you do not have to remove it first.

Non-Cash Items: The Safescan 6175 can also count non-cash items such as vouchers, coupons, tokens, and chips. Weigh the item, assign a value, and store it on the scale. Next time, you count these items just like cash, which makes your counting process even faster.

Detailed Reporting


Money scales also make your bookkeeping easier. After counting, your money scale shows a detailed overview of the results. Depending on the model, you can store, print, or export them and add them to your records.

Choosing The Right Money Scale


Now that you know more about the different features, you can choose the money scale that best fits your needs.

If you only need to count one or two cash drawers, the Safescan 6165 is a great choice. This money counting scale offers precise value counting for all your cash and helps you save valuable time when closing out your registers.

Need to count multiple cash drawers? Then the Safescan 6175 is the better option. Its large internal memory saves every count with its own reference number, so you can count all your cash drawers back to back before copying or exporting the results.

The Safescan 6175 also counts non-cash items, which makes it ideal for businesses that process gift vouchers, coupons, event tokens, or casino chips. It comes as a complete set with a battery and Money Counting Software, so you can also count on the go.

Frequently Asked Questions


How accurate are money scales?
