Review on High-Speed Electronic Coin Sorter And Counter - Counts 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, And 25¢ Coins At 250 Coins/Minute - Designed For 110 VAC by Warrick Infinite

I ordered this coin sorter to help count donations from a penny-wars campaign we did in the local schools: we raised over $2400, mostly in coins--and counting by hand was taking FOREVER! Each classroom's coin jar was taking an hour to count! This counter is not lightning fast--but it tripled the counting speed--it went through three jars each hour on average. We used it for 3-4 hours at a time--pausing for a few minutes between each jar--but it ran like clockwork and almost never jammed. we loved the fact that it keeps track of how many of each coin have run through the counter, and that you can set a number for each coin denomination after which the machine will pause (we used 300--which would mostly fill the bin, but not allow any overflows.It isn't cheap--but it ran like a beast, and we've now used it for some additional fundraisers. Still running strong. It's also not lightning fast--but it significantly improves counting times, and the feeding chute is large enough that it runs for a good five to ten minutes without having to be constantly tended. It also accepts coins that are gummed up and chewed up--which means you don't have to constantly clear jams--but that may also mean that your bank may not accept every single coin it counts. Given the volume of coins we went through, we had several pounds of coins (probably 20-40 dollars) that the bank would not accept--but when you're counting out $2,400 in coins (mostly pennies!), we at least had an idea of what we were taking to the bank before we went through the door with a cart full of change.
