"Before getting the Avansa CoinMate 1200, counting and sorting coins after a busy Sunday service was a headache. It took forever! Now, with this manual sorter, we're done in minutes. It's incredibly simple to use, doesn't need power, and has made our cash-up so much faster and more accurate. Truly a lifesaver for our church!" - Reverend Thabo, Johannesburg

🎯 Ideal Applications

The Avansa CoinMate 1200 is perfectly suited for businesses and organisations in Southern Africa seeking efficient coin handling without the need for electricity. This includes small to medium-sized retail businesses in bustling markets like those in Nairobi, small offices managing daily float, community organisations and NGOs in rural Zambia handling donations, and schools running fundraisers in Lesotho. Its robust design is ideal for environments where power access might be inconsistent, ensuring accurate coin processing for daily operations or periodic cash-ups.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa CoinMate 1200 operates on a simple, gravity-fed mechanism. You simply load your mixed coins into the top hopper. As you slide the tray, the coins fall through precisely sized slots, guiding each denomination into its respective tray below. This straightforward process ensures accurate sorting with minimal effort, providing a quick and reliable way to prepare coins for banking or daily transactions.
