Really thinking of purchasing a Ryedale this coming month for my birthday then it occurred to me that counting the pennies into $25 or $100 increments will take a long time by hand. Do you guys use a coin counter and if so what is a good brand to get in the range of about $300?
I saw this one local on CraigsList -
http://cnj.craigslist.org/for/2517947676.htmlIts a Brandt, looks old but sturdy to handle the amount of pennies I want to throw at it. What do you think?
Cheers,
Henchman

I would pass on that old old old old brandt. You can get a brand new Scan coin for only $100 more. Check ebay and post here in the forum.
Not only is that brandt old but if it breaks you can't get parts. Its also REALLY loud when you run it.
