Buying Guide

Counterfeit detection types

Choose a machine with multiple detection methods (UV, MG, IR, size) if you handle mixed or high-risk cash to reduce false negatives

Counting speed and capacity

Match BPM and hopper capacity to your workload—1500 BPH models suit moderate daily processing, while slower units are fine for occasional use

Value-counting vs. simple tally

Select value-counting capability if you need denomination totals; simple bill counters are adequate when only quantity matters

Batching and add functions

Look for add and batch features to automate bundle sizes and running totals, which speeds reconciliation and reduces manual errors

Display and user interface

A clear LCD or numeric display and intuitive controls minimize training time and help spot errors quickly during busy shifts
