Best Coin Counter?

[CLCW]

I just purchased a 4 bay self-serve car wash and am interested in getting a coin counter. What are your recommendations?
Thanks!

Scan con 303 is a good portable. Klopp also has a good name and is good with wet coins. As credit cards have become more and more used in this business the need for a coin counter is not what it once was.

Before you get a coin counter - see if you need one. I recycled my coins thru the changer and never counted them.

How did you get an accurate gross revenue if you never counted your coins?

Cash deposited = gross revenue? Your hoppers only hold so much. Either you're buying coins to refill them or you're occasionally depositing a bag or quarters. It's not precise but it can't be far off on a large scale unless you have an employee skimming.

I counted coins from each device for a while, then realized that it was only data I was collecting for which I had no real use for and would not act on. Saved a bit of time in collecting.
On the original subject, I had a scancoin 303 I bought from IB many years ago and it finally gave up the ghost. I bought a Cassida about six months ago and it seems to work fine.

Like Greg Pack said. . If I put $1000 in quarters in one time but only take out $900 in bills over time it evens out. Plus, the quarters were only one part of the revenue picture - Bays also took credit cards and paper $. Occasionally I monitored the Changer by using the hopper counters. Made sure if it dispensed 4000 quarters I pulled out$1000 in paper $.

That'll definitely get you in the ballpark, but not accurate enough for myself. I understand it's much easier and quicker to do it that way, but we have to separate coins anyways, so doesn't take much longer to count them

Very accurate and easy to use. I take quarters to bank that accepts them from my bucket and counts them quickly. My counter is always spot on.

Thats the nice thing about cryptopay. No need for any coin counting. Hook up the two gray wires to your coin acceptor and get an accurate revenue down to the quarter. Nothing is more accurate and less time consuming than that for figuring gross revenue with coins and/or credit.

We use this also and have equal results with accuracy.

We use nayax that also does that, just haven't set it up, it's in the plans though when time becomes available

That's what I'm hoping to do. I just got my changer back up and running (wasn't working when I bought the place) and so far so good. I've been trying to track how many quarters are going in each bay with the scale the previous owner left, but I just discovered that the Led7 timer tracks the number of quarters deposited. I just bought a remote control for them from Etowah Valley and that's going to be a game changer

Interested in this..... My newest site uses tokens, and that is something I want to move away from. So I'm going to setup my IDX coin acceptors to take both quarters and tokens. I have two bill changers, and I want to convert one to dispensing quarters instead of tokens. What coin counter have folks used that can sort between US quarters and tokens.
Has anyone had luck with this: Ribao CS10S

Dispensing $1 coins will make your life easier, less coins and higher spending from customers

Listen to Keno.

And a higher threat of a break in or vandalism. Go with $1 Tokens

Agreed, but he is specifically wanting to switch from dispensing tokens only to tokens and US coins
