Today at one of are dump banks Franklin noticed that the Coinstar was gone. And there was a new Talaris QuickChange Self Service Coin Deposit.http://talaris.com/en-us/products-services/self-service-solutions/quickchange-coin-deposit.aspx Are they good ,bad, slow, fast ? The bank bought them for each of there twenty branches.
We are going to try it out on Tuesday

From the look of it that's the one my credit union has and I used a few times earlier in the year before they started charging. If so, it was blinding fast. Ate up the coins almost as fast as I could dump them in the hopper (which is deceptively small, but it feeds very fast).

PS no charge for its use and eight branch close by!

2,500 coins per minute, according to a specification online.

On paper only 4x a coinstar, but in practice the coinstar has never lived up to its specs for me. I've felt lucky to get 200-300/min thru one. This one may not be the world record holder, but chomped through 100 face in well less than 10 minutes (I wasn't really counting the time, but like I said it was literally almost as fast as I could dump bags into it), which seems consistent with 2500/min (4 minutes, in theory).

Genealogy time:

Talaris bought the coin sorting/counting manufacture part of DeLaRue.

DeLaRue had bought LeFebure

LeFebure had bought Brandt.

I left Brandt shortly after it was acquired by DeLaRue circa 1999.

At that time Brandt was sourcing the coin deposit machines from Scan Coin in Denmark.

Not sure what is under the hood of the new ones...

I eventually want to get a Brandt/DeLarue model Mach5 machine with coin recognition.

Several of those near me but they are several years older Delarue.Work great,quick.Often find coins on the magnet at beginning of belt. If they bag the coin its a great source.20 machines nearby would be a dream come true for any sorter.

Most of the branches of my dump bank have this machine. Fast and holds "4" $50 penny bags. Then I think '2' bags each for quarters, dimes, and nickels. Not too sure about dollars or halfs. The only pain is when they have to change out bags...there is always more bags to change. The last time it happened to me they had to pull out the push cart. All '4' penny bags, a dime, a quarter, and a nickel bag had to be pulled out and switched with new bags. But it's faster and better than a coinstar. I dumped the zinc rejects from my last $50 bag earlier today. All of 5 minutes if that for roughly $34 in zincs only. One slight pause today as I suspect the machine was switching bags. I love the conveyor belt feeding...beats the hell out of the coinstar method!

You my friend just struck gold. Find as many branches as you can that will sell you the bags. Then dump at the ones that won't. These are the best machines to dump at. They will eat through some coin. They only have 3 bags for pennies ($150). They fill up fast. Before the CU put a $300 day limit I would dump $750 & 2-3k in halves in one visit.

Definately getting jealous here. Those things are as fast as half my counting machines. Definately a serious upgrade from the CoinStar machines. "My you have a lot of coins! Please wait while we catch up."

Slick offers excellent advice. Find out which branches will sell you the bags and let each branch determine if they will be a source bank or a dump bank. Parcel your take down to reasonable size batches for Franklin to sort. Man, if I could only get a source/dump setup like this. You guys have it made!

The bank is Premierwest http://www.premierwestbank.com/locations-and-hours and they have branches in Northern California !

They are about an hour and a half away from me.. but I may have to open an account anyway. What's with the no Saturday hours? That's my time coin run time.

They had Saturday hours but that was before they were "said" to be on the FDIC watch list .

Yeah, those Saturday hours really make a bank look suspicious. Not worried about them being on the list.. I never keep more than the insured minimum in any one account.

The Penny Arcade machines at TD Bank are Talaris. I noticed the nameplate yesterday when we had the machine open to change bags.

TD is open Sat til 3, Sun til 4, Thus & Fri til 8pm, Mon-Wed til 6. Very convenient for the penny hoarder. They were even open today til noon.

Oh man, now you guys are giving me bank envy!

Mine won't let me buy the bags....dump only...and I do!

For a moment there I thought you wrote "TARDIS." Going like "Wait, The Doctor is into sorting coins now?"

i've used the quickchange machine. it is fast.

We used it today for the first time. It was fast not as fast as a Cummings. This one does not hold bags. It all goes into a bin and and Garda http://www.gardaglobal.com/cash_cash.php pick up the bin. So if it fills up to fast they might be mad. The CU has a Cummings so I think that will be a main dump bank.

big smile on your son - looks like he is standing next to a new friend.

the ones i use all collect into bags. wonder why a bank would choose a bin or the bag model?
if you have access to a faster machine - im jealous -
it is good to hear that lobby machines are becoming popular.

It looks small, too, compared to the ones at my dump banks!

I've been using the credit union as a dump bank as well so I'm glad we're on the same page.
