TECHNOLOGY OF BANKER MONEY COUNTING SYSTEMS

Most use load-cell scales to register “relative” weight and thereby calculate the quantity of money (think bathroom, produce or meat scales). These inexpensive-to-manufacture units use analog mechanisms that only display in a digital format. Due to the internal mechanism, they are adversely affected by humidity, elevation, temperature and off-level surfaces. They require calibration (must be “leveled”), and they tend to fluctuate. Generally, a V-shaped hood is used to center the money on the middle 25% of the counting surface in an attempt to overcome the inconsistencies experienced with this type of sensor. Some customers find a need to recount.
