Buyer's Guide: Bill Counters

picture of bill counter model

Bill Counters save duration  , increase  accuracy by counting stacks of currency, checks,  or  coupons. They eliminate errors caused by manually counting  every bill piece  by piece.  source is placed in  to tray  of  the  counter  &  the equipment takes money up through machine, counting, batching, adding, and, in small number of  machines, even  detecting for legitimacy. only some  machines are designed  to exclusively handle US currency, while others could  be used all around world. every machine is designed just with a type of currency  in mind ,  separate levels  of security.


  • What kind of source do I need to be counted?
  • Bill counters  not only have capability to count currency. only some equipment count coupons, checks,  or some other documents that meet the machine_s size  requirements. One major difference between bill counters  is  its ability to  action US banknotes versus banknotes from around world.  business appliance that could handle International currency come along with digital options to customize counter to longness and diameter of width  of bill you need to be counted.

  • How many bills  do I need to process at a duration  , at  what speed?
  • Each equipment is designed  to action certain quantity of banknotes per minute: The amount of banknotes hopper can input in to equipment varies from the quantity  stacker could hold once the bills have been run  through  the bill counting  machine.  stacker is place only for the bills to  pause before  someone manually removes them only from  machine for  continued  processing or bundling. 

  • What is level  of security you need to  feel confident  that your money is protected?
  • Creating counterfeit currency  is  serious  crime,  , unfortunately, only with continuous technological advances,  it is very easy only for individual  to pass on fake  bill as legitimate at a quick glance. There is  equipment only for every degree  of protection to ensure that your money is legitimate. See options below  under heading, "Types of Detection", to pinpoint the level that is  correct only for you.

  • Do you  might want your  business appliance to sort bills,  create or add  batches?
  • Electronic or digital  models come along just with functions to sort  denominations,  add series of batches, display degree of authenticity,  , display the current count.

  • Will you  need bill  counter to accomplish  just with larger money  handling business appliance dedicated to continued processing?
  • Some bill counters come  equipped only with interface kit to directly connect business appliance to other money handling equipment or  computing machine only for  continued processing. The  interface  kit  supplies point of  interaction dedicated to bill counter , money handling equipment  to accomplish together.

      Ultra Violet Light Detector

      Ultra violet light is used to detect range  of invisible  radiation wavelengths  shorter  than violet in  invisible spectrum: Here_s how it works:

      With advances in copier & laser printing technology it has become easier than ever only for individuals to  create  high-resolution replications  of  wide range of  currency: When currency  is created in this method, the image is resting on surface of  the paper  &  can  be detected once ultra violet light is  run over the paper.  It perform like  x-ray  vision to  zone in  on questionable areas: tiny particles of toner could be seen placed outside the standard image, thus indicating that it is NOT  a valid currency.

      Machines only with UV detection scan every piece of currency dedicated to these inconsistencies inside machine; you won_t even see going on. Once fake note is found, information could automatically display  on  window to notify operator immediately. small number of business appliance  will sound an audible or visual  alarm, while  others simply produce tiny lights  or provide information to  be read off the display.  every business appliance manufactured with UV sensors has a different method of  notifying the user of types of detection  it finds. 

      Magnetic Sensors

      Magnetic sensors  run  over each bill  , are  designed  to  search dedicated to certain components of banknotes that cannot  be seen by naked eye. machinary  automatically  detect and match  the  piece against already programmed components of a  legitimate bill. Once a suspicious note is found, every  machine has  its own unique way of notifying  the user. 

      Length Detector

      Standard longness detectors  were first used to  accurately measure currency to ensure that dimensions match legitimate US bills.
      longness detectors notify  you  of worn, torn, or mutilated currency: It is critical  to detect types of inconsistencies in  your  currency, because although  they make not  be  fake notes created by an individual, bill may  be too damaged to accept dedicated to its  intrinsic value. Since the  Treasury Department  could replace  any of  clearly fragmented or mutilated currency as long as it is  partially intact,  you  could wish  to  identify bills that  need to be replaced. in case  banknote is more than halfway torn, it  is no longer valid currency.

      Machines just with normal length detection scan every stuff of currency  dedicated to  accurate dimensions. Once an inconsistent  bill  is found, only for whatever reason,  the machinary could  automatically display information via viewer window. Since each machinary is built to notify  operator using different methods, you will wish  to make sure that you understand whether business appliance  would sound alarm or visually display the information.

      Length detection is USUALLY designed to  handle US  currency only:

      Length & Width Detector

      Length & diameter of width detectors were designed as modification  to  average  length  detection. This  modification enables equipment to detect different  size  currency only for every country  around the world. business appliance accomplish exact way as  longness  detectors, except they  need  to be programmed or set  to the dimensions of  bill that it is  going to detect.
      Each business appliance will have a separate method of  programming this  information, although  all are easy-to-use & set-up.


      For maximum security, decide equipment that has  all detection  options.

    picture of counterfeit detector
    Counterfeit detectors  are  specialized units designed to scan individual  banknotes only for legitimacy through various detection methods,  so you could protect  money that passes through your hands , ensure its value. Each  bill is placed in  to the machinary  by  operator who then selects  kind of detection they  might want the machinary to use.  The types of detection options found  on counterfeit  detectors are ultraviolet light detection,  incandescent bulb for  watermark verification, magnetic  head detection system, magnifier for micro-printing  verification, lighted  reflector  to spot the color-shifting ink property and detector pen  dedicated to chemical testing the bill  paper.

    All of  detection options  perform  alone or together to accomodate pinpoint  any questionable bills.

  • How would you  like to be  notified of counterfeit  detection?
  • Some equipment are low-key;  they simply flash a red or green  light  on digital display to indicate whether  a bill is  false (red) or legitimate  (green), while other machines sound all kind  of audible  alarms to draw attention to the fake bill.

  • What is  level of  security  you  need to  feel confident that  your money is protected?
  • There is a counterfeit unit designed dedicated to every degree  of protection  to ensure that your money  remains  secure dedicated to years to come. See options below under heading, "Types  of Counterfeit Detectors", to  pinpoint the level that is dedicated to you. 

     


      Ultra Violet Light Detector (see UV detection above)

      When fake currency is  created using a color copier  or printer, image remains resting  on the  surface of  the paper , could be  detected  once ultra violet  light is run over  the paper.  It perform like  x-ray vision to zone in on questionable areas. petite particles of toner could  be seen  placed outside the  standard image, thus indicating  that it is NOT  valid currency:

      In counterfeit detection unit, fluorescence  (or UV  light) is  emitted only from inside the machine. Once  bill is placed  underneath lights, any of inconsistencies  in bill are highlighted,  notifying the user  of whether the bill  is  counterfeit or "real". In most counterfeit detection  units,  UV light reflects onto a sensor that initiates an audible or  visual alarm. If the alarm is triggered, operator knows  that the bill or  document is counterfeit or "suspicious".  UV  detection is  not only used on currency, however  also detects legitimate passports, credit cards  & other  personal documents.

      Magnetic Detector

      Magnetic detectors accomodate to find  counterfeit notes  by searching the bill dedicated to magnetic components  used in the manufacturing of US and some other foreign currencies, travelers checks, credit cards  & more. In  counterfeit  detection unit, magnetic  detector is  usually located outside of the machine, and requires operator  to run each bill  over sensor head: dedicated to US bills, face  of the  bill  should redeem a positive magnetic reaction only from the detector but the Federal  Reserve emblem should  scan  as a negative magnetism. By rubbing this part of bill  over sensor, the machinary could detect  the  magnetic charge of any of given area.

      Magnifying Detector

      On every banknote there are special markings  or prints imbedded into the bill that  cannot be seen by naked eye alone. Detection units provide magnifying detectors to benefit  you look dedicated to special characteristics. Federal Reserve suggests you  pay  attention to the  type of note, portrait  (size and  position), micro printing, fine-line  printing  pattern consistent only with legitimate bills, serial number, check letter , quadrant number, federal reserve seal, inscribed security  thread  (visual only with UV or chemical  test),  federal reserve letter , number, series &  the treasury seal.

      Watermark Detector

      A watermark is special marking found on paper used to make US currency  that is made as result of the differences in thickness  usually produced by pressure  of projecting  design in the bill mold or  on processing  roll. Once suspicious note  is held up to a fluorescent bulb  or  light the watermark  becomes visible: In counterfeit  units,  simply place each bill over the display  of fluorescent bulb  & you could be able to view position & greatness of watermark impression.
      weak  or poor excellency watermark indicates that the banknote is  a fake.

      Lighted Reflector

      A lighted  reflector can be installed in to unit to highlight lower  hand corner  on front of a bill: This portion of a legitimate  currency has a  unique color-shifting property that changes color as you change  the position of the bill, turning the color only from green to  black or  black to  green.  in case  the lighted reflector does not find this property once the area  has been isolated, bill is counterfeit.
