What JPRB is saying is true ... we saw it first hand how a large local amusement company changed from the Klopp Counters to precisely calibrated scales when they used to process in front us 2 of their machines that they used to have in our laundromat. ... before we got our own. As far as sorting in preparation for the weighing ... if it is just between dollar coins & quarters ... even if they were equally divided numbers in our coin boxes ... a simple box with an upper surface of quarter sized drilled holes ... would be really no trouble or loss of time at all. We could use the same upper surface (temporary towel) to dry the coins in case they happened to get extra wet.If you don't have mixed coins, I would recommend a scale. We have one with a 60lb max, so we can bag $1000 in quarters. I have checked the calibration a few times, counting out 50 coins at a time with the Klopp, and adding them on the scale. It's always been within 1 quarter +/- of the correct number. The scale is much quicker than counting with the Klopp counter we used originally. Klopp is great if you are rolling coins.
