Note Counting Machines
A currency counting machine is a device that counts foreign currency directly from an external source. Commercial types are generally very similar to the typical cash counting machine. However, there are several key differences between the two. Such differences range from the kinds of currency being counted, to the methods of collection and tabulation.
A cash counting machine is generally a discrete machine that counts incoming cash (either coin or banknotes) from an external source. It has a paper-based counter located externally that can accept coins or bills. Commercial machines are commonly electronic, while some private ones are purely paper-based. The electronic types usually offer a full count of all currency, or count bills into smaller bundles for storage and wrapping. Electronic machines are sometimes called “scratch off” counters, since the final count often relies on manual scratching of certain bills before the final “counters” are completed.

Note counting machines (also called “note counting devices”) are designed specifically to count short-term currency bills (typically at a discount rate), ranging up to $200. Commercial types of note counting machines are generally tabular and have a number of check-out lanes to accommodate large volumes of currency. Commonly used types of note counting machines include paper-based, electronic (with a keyboard) and cash counting machines. Most note holding capacity facilities also accept other types of machines such as fax, debit and credit card machines.
Pros and Cons of Note Counting Machines
The main advantage of these machines is the flexibility they afford to businesses. Since many businesses require precise timing in order to meet delivery deadlines, accurate and timely counting can provide an important competitive edge against other businesses. For this reason, while other types of machines may have high fixed charges per bill-generated transaction, note counting machine comes with a lower charge per transaction, thus allowing businesses to make more profit from each transaction.
On the other hand, note counting machine has cons that may affect your business in different ways. One of the cons of this machine is the high level of accuracy required for currency bills. If your business deals with small amounts of currency (e.g. a restaurant), it would be difficult for you to verify the precision of a typical Note Counting Machine.
Moreover, you cannot be sure that the machine can count 1000 notes accurately in a given period. If the machine cannot generate an accurate result within a given time, you will not be able to generate enough orders to cover the cost of operations. Another con of these machines is that you cannot be sure that the results generated are accurate. Lastly, the efficiency of ooze note counting machine (one of the most commonly used types) is not as good as the specialized machines used for large-scale currency trade because the latter can generate more accurate results even under extreme circumstances.
