1500 USA Business Grade Money Counter with UV/MG/IR Counterfeit Detection – Top Loading Bill Counting Machine w/Calculation, Add and Batch Modes – Fast Counting Speed 1,500 Notes/Min

I am very satisfied with THIS counter. I’ve struggled a lot with DIFFERENT currency counters during the time I had been on my way of understanding the difference between $100 and $1500 price point money counting machines.And I would like to share my experience so I might save YOU time and money.This type of machine provides a BASIC counterfeit check, so if you need an exact counterfeit detection you should go and purchase a mixed bill value machine such as Cummins Allison for $1500 and be safe.This BC-1500 counter is a type of machine you need to choose a denomination MANUALLY and it will just multiply the COUNT with a chosen denomination.If you want the machine to recognize denominations automatically – it is not the case.Those type of machines cost much more (starting $800 at least) and yet they make mistakes, but they supplied with a bunch of denomination recognition sensors, I guess this is why they cost more. But a perfect and accurate one will be around $2500.On the other hand, if all you want is a SIMPLE but effective bill counter, then this is definitely the machine for you. This was my expectation, and maybe this is why I am so SATISFIED with it and writing this review. All I need a simple bills counter, that would tell me HOW MANY bills it processed and I also wanted it to make stacks of different denominations for me and to tell me the TOTAL VALUE of it and be able to PRINT the count result. But you’ll need to have a thermal printer to do so.So, over the years I can say this machine is very good for its price point.This is a really good and reliable bill counter with no feeding struggle.By writing all that I wanted to suggest you SET your expectations appropriately. We get what we pay for.

It's not the first product I'm buying with this brand name. The counter is robust, quality-made, well packed, and exactly as advertised. This is a heavy-duty machine and handles all my daily cash count. I love the calculation function. I don’t have problems with the machine at all. Can count other currencies if detections are turned off. Gets the job done. Recommended.

I read the manual prior to operating. It states the feed gap adjustment is correct out of the box and you don't have to adjust it. I foolishly tried using 100s from the get go. After it booted up and was running it took a while for it to finally catch one of the bills; when dispensed it was partially tore. The machine jammed, and then of the few times I tired it on the same stack I received three different counts. Each were different than what I hand counted. I decided to adjust the feed gap the per the manual was preset and shouldn't be adjusted. It took a while as per the manual you adjust in small increments and must turn the machine off while adjusting it. It cycles better, but still occasionally jams and puts small tears in the bill. You get what you pay for.

Money is very inaccurate and alot of errors

Great machine! Very accurate!
