Where is the best place, or best prices to get mars bill acceptors? I am looking for a AE2602, but a VN2512, or VN2502, would work also if the price was right. I need it to accept new $5s, and want it to be able to flash for new future bills.
Mars no longer builds the VN2500 series validators. If you’re looking for a validator for your coin box and all you want to accept is $1’s & $5’s a AE2412U3 validator work for you.
All Mars series AE24XX and VN25XX bill acceptors manufactured after the 40th week of 1999 can be flash upgraded for any of the new currency. The first three digits of the serial number determine the week and year of manufacture. The first two are the week and the third digit is the year. All AE26XX validators are flash upgradeable
