For those who use electric coin counters to accurately count how many pennies you are either selling or returning to the bank in the form of $50 penny bags, which coin counters do all of you use? I'm in the market for one.

I was thinking about a Cassida C200 which sells for $200. The reviews I've read so far tell me it is reliable.


But I was thinking I might need something more heavy duty and faster. I was also thinking of going for Cassida's C800 model which sells for $800 . I couldn't find any good reviews, but Cassida's lower models got good reviews so I figured I could trust this company.


The only thing I'd be worried about is whether or not this thing can only use canvas coin bags or the plastic ones. What machines do you guys use for counting coins? Any recommendations?

I use an old hand crank Klopp. It has manual stops for diameter and thickness of coins. Works like a champ. One denomination at a time. Counter is still 100% accurate.

You can use plastic coinlok bags with that 800. It has the same style bag attachment as my counter and both plastic and canvas are no problem. Look on eBay for a ScanCoin 303 or 313, they can be found for 200 or less used and they work great. There are some good threads on these if you do a search of the archives. Lots of good info.

A used Scan-coin 303 is what I picked up from another member. Built like a tank, at least the version I have. There are several others here with that or the 313 model. I had to get a manual (possible thanks to another member) and get used to a few minor quirks, but it's been great. Fast and reliable.

I recently picked up a used JCM CS-25 on eBay for under $190 shipped, and have been very happy with it.

i got a scale at goodwill for 1$. 27.7 lbs = 50$ zinc =)

An abused Brandt 749, I over work it alot, I think it is made by Timex...it takes a beating and keeps on spinning...

The best coin counter ever made.

CS-10 here. fast as hell!

Hand crank Klopp for counting and rolling junk silver and copper.
Lobby counter at the bank for zinc. 3801 of them went in today.

I think I have one of those Cassidas, but I have never gotten it out of the box yet. I usually use my 3 Glory CN-12's, a pair of Mach 7's, a Mach 5 and a Glory CP-11. The Downey Johnson and the Glory minsort don't get much play anymore. The 2 Glory WS-10's and WR-12 rolling machines can also free count as backups.

The c-2000 off of eBay works well... I have been running it when my sc-22 gives me problems. It is reasonably priced, make sure to et the coin tube type though.
