🎯 Ideal Applications

It is ideal for retail stores managing daily till reconciliation, entertainment venues and amusement facilities counting tokens, coin laundries, and petrol stations that frequently handle large amounts of loose change.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa CT Coin Blackbird operates by automatically counting and batching coins at high speed. Simply place your loose coins into the large hopper. The machine then counts them rapidly. If you are counting mixed denominations, start with the coin denomination that has the largest diameter; smaller coins are automatically diverted to the reject pocket. You can activate the "batch" function to pre-set a specific number of coins, and the machine will pause once that amount is reached, ideal for preparing coin rolls. The "add" function allows for continuous counting, accumulating a grand total across multiple runs if you have more coins than the hopper capacity.
