Review on Cassida 5520 UV/MG - High-Speed Money Counter With ValuCount, UV/MG/IR Counterfeit Detection, Add And Batch Modes - Large LCD Display & 1,300 Notes/Minute Counting Speed - Ideal For US Currency by Brian Healy

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not worth it IMO. (Multiple currencies)

After having a less expensive counter for a few years I decided to spend about twice that on a new counter, thinking I would get better results. Oh how wrong I've been. Now the first disclaimer is that while I use this baby to count US bills from time to time, most of the time I use it to count a different currency, so you can take that with a grain of salt.Either way, with all the different currencies I get mixed results. When we just got it we would be depositing money at the bank and realized the count was wrong. We then realized what was happening. The counter works perfectly for perfect bills. If they are a little crushed or folded we will either get an error message or a wrong count.Ever since then we have gotten into the habit of counting 3-4 times each stack just to be sure. Still faster than hand counting but I'm going to go back to my cheap counter. Less trouble, more accurate and much faster.

Pros
  • Likes:1) Ease of use2) Accuracy3) FastDislikes:None discovered
Cons
  • Not suitable for counting large amounts of loose bills
