Review on Coin Counters & Coin Sorters Tubes Bundle Of 4 Color-Coded Coin Tubes And Assorted Coin Wrappers by Prince Ruffins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easier than counting, but check for accuracy

I assumed, rather naively, that these would be calibrated, i.e. that once you poured off the excess coins you would have exactly 50 pennies, or 40 nickels, or 50 dimes, or 40 quarters. Alas, this is not the case. I strongly advise that you do a test run before you do too many rolls. What I found was the the penny count actually comes to 53, the nickel count to 40, the dime count to 51, and the quarter count to 41. Once you have calibrated, it is no big deal to pull off the extra coin or coins before wrapping. Wrapping is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. You need to get the wrapper started over the top few coins, then insert your finger into the wrapper to contact the top coin, and invert the funnel while slowly drawing your finger down to let the rest of the coins fall into the wrapper. You can then pull the funnel off and roll the ends. Make sure all the coins have fallen into the wrapper or you will have coins all over the floor when you pull the funnel off. Net/net, this went pretty smoothly after I got the bugs worked out. Wrapping over $2000 in loose change still took time, but with these funnels I could sort while watching TV without having to count. Much easier.

Pros
  • Very good product
Cons
  • The color-coded system may not work for people who are visually impaired
