This guide is intended to help educate consumers on all of the major functions and features of Cash handling equipment, but if you prefer to read a specific section please feel free to click on any of the sections below What are Bill Counters/ Money Counters/ Currency Counters?
Finding the Right Money Counter How many bills do I need to process at a time and at what speed? Each machine is designed to process a certain amount of banknotes per minute (BPM). The BPM varies per product and its feeding system type. The amount of banknotes the hopper can input into the machine varies from the amount the stacker can hold once the bills have been run through the feeding system. The stacker is a place for the bills to pause before someone manually removes them from the machine for continued processing or bundling. Most common speeds are from 600 to 1500 BPM. Front vs. Back-loading Money Counter The front and back loading concept refers to the position of the feeding system employed to process the banknotes.
What is the level of security you need to feel confident that your money is protected while you count it? Creating counterfeit currency is a serious crime, and unfortunately, with continuous technological advances, it is very easy for an individual to pass on a fake bill as legitimate at a quick glance. There is a machine for every degree of protection to ensure that your money is legitimate. See the options below the heading Types of counterfeit Detection and Dimensions Recognition in Bill Counters to choose the option that best fits your needs. Do you need the bill counter to work connected to your computer? Some bill counters come equipped with an interface kit to directly connect the unit to a computer. The AccuLOG software supplies a point of interaction for the bill counter and the computer allowing the user to log and document the amount of cash being counted. This user-friendly software also enables an administrator to oversee all the records of moneys being handled by several users. Portable and/or Compact Money Counter/ Bill Counter/ Currency Counter

Types of Dimensions Recognition in Bill Counters Most bill counters that include infrared, height and/ or width recognition can be adjusted to process US currency (default), or any other foreign currencies.
What are Coin Counters?
Two key questions to pick the best option according to your needs: Question #1- Is time a crucial factor for your business? Analyzing time factor will help in the decision of whether acquiring a manual or automatic detector. Question #2- What is the level of security you need to have the peace of mind that your money is protected? Recognizing the level of security needed will help to determine the strength required in the detection process. Dollar currency presents a wide variety of security features. As more features are checked, the more accurate will be the result obtained. There is a counterfeit detection unit designed for every degree of protection to ensure that your money remains secure for years to come. See below the heading Types of Counterfeit Detectors to find out what best fits your needs. Types of Counterfeit Detectors Ultra Violet Light Detector When fake currency is created using a color copier or printer and the paper is not the money paper, it will be clearly identified. For instance, if regular printing paper was used, the ultraviolet light will not be absorb by the paper. As a reaction, the user will perceive an intense brightness on the bill. Furthermore, small particles of toner can be seen placed outside the standard image, thus indicating that it is NOT a valid currency.
Magnetic Detector Magnetic detectors help to find counterfeit notes by searching the bill for the magnetic components used in the manufacturing of US bills, foreign currencies, travelers checks, credit cards, and any other special document. By rubbing the parts of the bill to be checked over the magnetic head, the machine will react with audible and/or visual signals if magnetic properties are found. For US bills, most of the black part on the face of the bill should redeem a positive magnetic reaction from the detector but the Federal Reserve emblem should not generate any signal of magnetism.
Magnifying Detector On each banknote there are special micrometric printings embedded into the bill that cannot be analyzed by the naked eye alone. Some detection units provide magnifying glasses to help you look for these special characteristics. The Federal Reserve suggests you pay attention to the type and value of the note, portrait (size and position), micro-printing, fine-line printing pattern consistent with legitimate bills, serial number, check letter and quadrant number, federal reserve seal, inscribed security thread, federal reserve letter and number, series and the treasury seal. Infrared Detector Special infrared marks with different dimensions and positions are embedded on the money paper according to the inherent value of the banknotes. The infrared security feature is one of the latest upgrades in dollar currency with the purpose to protect it against forgery. Infrared marks are clearly identified and verified through a special infrared camera allowing the user to verify the authenticity and intrinsic value of the bill. Watermark Detector A watermark is a special marking found on the paper used to make US currency as a result of the differences in thickness usually produced by pressure of a projecting design in the bill mold or on a processing roll. Once the suspicious note is held up to a fluorescent bulb or light the watermark becomes visible. In the counterfeit detector units with this feature, simply place each bill over the display of the fluorescent bulb and you will be able to view the position and quality of the watermark impression. A weak or poor quality watermark indicates that the banknote is a fake. Glossary- Key terms to keep in mind Add: Function that allows accumulating quantities Auxiliary Counting Screen: small additional digital screen which displays the amount being processed, and can be pointed in any desired direction.

It detects the range of invisible radiation wavelengths shorter than violet in the invisible spectrum. MG (Magnetic): type of detection in which a magnetic sensor creates a magnetic field reacting when metallic particulate are present Watermark: special marking on the paper used to make US currency as a result of the differences in thickness usually produced by pressure of a projecting design in the bill mold or on a processing roll. Some foreign currencies, travelers’ cheques and special documents have this type of security feature embedded to protect its authenticity. Micro-printing: printed feature at a micrometric scale.
