Cassida C300 Professional USD Coin Counter, Sorter and Wrapper/Roller, 300 coins/min, with Quickload and Printing-Compatible,Gray

We have a conference in which we sell books and have registers. We usually have about 7 registers open at one time and at the end of every night we need to count the tills and sales and pull the money from the registers. We used to count the till change by hand, which took us over an hour to count all 7 registers when all you want to do is go home. We have a 3 point check so the change gets counted 3 times so counting change by hand was a slow, tedious process that sometimes was made longer by human error and the need to count more than than the 3 times. Once we got this machine it cut our counting time in half if not more. We spend only 30 minutes counting all 7 tills. The change machine is fast, effective and accurate. Now to the machine itself. The rotating blade where the change is placed and turned to be sorted is somewhat slow as it rotates at a rate which may seem slow at first, but it can sort a whole tray of coins in less than a minute. It sounds slow, but it's actually a fast process. You can also push the coins a little over the rotating tumbler if you feel its rotating slowly. This does not affect the sorting process, only pushes the coins down the sorting hole faster. This machine is equipped with a printing function which is a GODSEND. We love this printout. We have multiple people using this one counting machine so for them to be able to printout a report of the change makes going between groups that much quicker. No one has to sit there and write down the change numbers. They simply attach a coin counting printer and with a press of the button the report will print. It's fantastic. This is by far the best feature of the machine. The machine sorts by size so the trays do not sit in numerical order, e.g. $1, .25, .10, .05, .01; but rather it goes by size so the 1 cent comes before the 5 cents which is just something we had to get used to when dumping the coins back into our till trays. It's a slight annoyance but not enough to not want to use the machine. Another thing to note, the machine does not discriminate between foreign currency and US currency. So if you have a foreign currency that is the same size as a penny, it will be sorted with the pennies. I tried this machine with some foreign currency that we had and for the most part anything that was odd sized or shaped ended up in the $1 tray, but if there was a coin that was the same size and shape as the other US coins, it sorted into those trays. We have only used the tray functionality, and not the coin wrappers; however, the idea that we could roll coins easily is fantastic. I cannot attest to the ease of this feature however. You can set the machine's functionality to sort the different denominations to a certain dollar amount; meaning you can set pennies to only sort up to $0.50 which is the amount of a penny roll. The machine will stop sorting the pennies until you stop and reset the sorter. This goes for all the other denominations. This makes rolling the coins very easy. Again, we haven't used the rolling feature, but it is nice to be able to have in case we do use it in the future. The carrying handle is convenient if you ever need to move it; it is heavy but not too heavy to carry. Definitely recommend this if you are counting a lot of change.

It worked great for me with rolled tubes and bins. Just be sure to feed it the correct coins (no Canadian pennies in a US machine), and if possible, remove bent coins, debris, and stray objects before loading the hopper. Objects larger than the Susan B Anthony dollar will settle to the bottom of the lower sorter when you turn it off. If you have slender fingers, you might be able get to this area by opening a door in the back of the unit. Worst case, the instructions show how to open the unit instead. Since the mechanism pushes the coins from the smallest to largest opening, smaller debris tends to accumulate in the dimes tube/bin. When using tubes, the dimes may not fall flat due to the debris, leading to overflow, so again, relatively clean input will give better results. As for the speed, it sorts them at a rate of 300 per minute, which is 5 coins per second as long as the lower mechanism is not empty. I believe some of the complaints about speed don't take into account that the upper hopper only drops more coins into the lower mechanism when it detects more coins are needed, which introduces a pause. However, the operation is smooth and automatic, so you can just set your bin counts and it will stop when any of the tubes/bins are full. in my experience, the slowest part of the operation is the person using it, as it can fill the tubes faster than I can replace and crimp them. The bins and tubes are cleverly designed. Each has a magnet in front and a tab in the back to keep them from tipping, yet can easily be removed and replaced. I have only one complaint: the machine had a strong electronic/chemical smell that took a day to subside.

Be patient, don't over fill and ensure the coins fall into correct tube.

This Cassida C300 coin counter is as close as you will get to perfect outside of purchasing a commercial machine similar to what you might find in your local bank. I will share my experience using this machine. I am not a business owner, just making the point here that I don't have the need to regularly count coins as a business owner would. I store away my loose change when I have it and at some point want to count and roll up my coins to take to the bank. First I will say that this machine is accurate. It is important to use only the preformed coin wrappers. Even using the preformed wrappers you must be careful not to bend the wrapper at the open end where you would crimp it to hold the coins in. If there is a slight bend meaning that if the open end where the coins fall into is not completely round, then you will have coins that don't make it into the wrappers and the coin will hit the wrapper and bounce out or jam up that denomination. If this happens to you, simply check the coins that are in the wrapper and it should match up with what the machine is showing on the counter. This includes any coin(s) that bounced out after hitting the bent wrapper. Each denomination has a wrapper holder which holds the wrapper in place as the machine is inserting the coins. A few times I stopped to do a check and can inform you that this machine is accurate. My very first time using this machine I started with only pennies. It was my way of testing the accuracy and also to eliminate the possibility of a penny popping into one of the other chambers. This did happen but it wasn't the fault of the machine. This happened approximately 3 times and each time I needed to make sure the end of the wrapper was perfectly round. I didn't experience any this anymore after that. When you are first using this machine you are feeling out the machine which helps you to be able to run it with ease after you become familiar with it. When you want to wrap coins, it is important to go into the settings to set the number of coins to go into each wrapper based on the denomination. Once you set the quantity for each coin you can leave it and it will recall it when you power on again. If you are wanting to just count coins then you can clear out the quantities in the settings and just run the machine. This machine also accepts the $1 coins which is a plus in my opinion. I don't regularly get the dollar coins but it's nice to know that it can handle those as well. I just couldn't see myself paying CoinStar or other commercial coin counting machine to count my coins when I could invest in my own machine that will not only count but wrap my coins too. All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase of this Cassida C300 Coin Counter/Wrapping machine. I may update my review later if there is anything I forgot that bears mentioning. Hope this helps you.
