There are many different cash counters available in the UK & Europe. At Currency Systems we tested the latest range of cash counters so you don't have to. We have reduced the cash counters down to two categories - 'Best Cash Counter For Budget' and 'Overall Best Cash Counter'.
Best Cash Counter For Budget - Safescan 6165. The Safescan 6165 is the cheapest cash counting scale available in the UK. "Built for a price" in the far east the Safescan 6165 has the capacity for checking your bagged coin quantities and for small quantities of bank notes.
The Safescan 6165 is supplied with mains power adapter as standard and has the option of running off a battery (not supplied). The Safescan 6165 is also supplied with coin tray and has a printer port for connecting to the Safescan thermal printer.
The Safescan 6165 has the capacity to count coins and notes in 13 different currencies as standard (including UK BoE Sterling, Euro's & Swiss Francs) and can be used with the Safescan MCS money counting software. In our experience of using different cash counters, the key with using the 6165 is not to expect too much from a machine selling online at under £150 + vat. If you having experience of using a friction note counter, or a Tellermate or Volumatic money scale you may find 6165 limited, but you must remember the price paid.
All in all, when the purchase price is taken into account the Safescan 6165 is our best budget cash counter money scale. Read more about the
