Has anyone tried one of these low priced Scan coin 303 knockoff coin counters? There only $419 at American cash machines https://www.americancashmachines.com/Cassida-C500-Coin-Counter-Off-Sorter-p/ca-03-003.htm The Scan coin 303 is made in China now by Suzohap and it doesn’t seem like the quality is there anymore.

I didn't buy a Cassida, but did buy a Ribao Coin Counter from Amazon a year ago for $420 because my Scan Coin 303 was just worn out. The Ribao seemed like a direct copy of my old Scan Coin but was faster and came with spare part, belts, and tools. I can't comment on the quality of the new Scan Coin 303, but after a year's use on this Ribao, I would be hard pressed to buy another Scan Coin. My only other comment is the Ribao and Cassida sure like the same unit just different labels.

Im using the C500 off amazon, seems good to me, I have no prior experience. but it is accurate. It does pass quite a few quarters with the tokens the first "filtering" perhaps because they are so closely sized. Counts accuratly. had it about a year after making stacks of 10.00 out of quarters to count them on the kitchen counter.... much better than that!

Will the c500 sort mixed coins. Everything I read says it does, the pictures shows with mixed denomination of coins, but when I email the distributor the answer I got was <'"The C500 does come with coin tubes for wrapping, but it's really meant to be used with bags. Also, just to be sure you're aware, this device is meant to be used with a single coin denomination, and is not meant for sorting coins."

They can't claim it sorts because a true sorter generally sorts multiple denominations of coins and may or may not count them as it sorts. It off-sorts, meaning you have to count the largest size coin and it will reject smaller coins through the side chute uncounted. So if you have three sizes of coins mixed together, you have to run them through three times off-sorting the smaller ones each time.

That is why we really like our Cummins 2000 (true sorter with multiple bags at once) with its Communications Module.
Taking it a step further it "when the sub batch button is pushed" it goes into the serial connected computer neatly arranged in a database ... ready for category organized reports from a menu selection on the computer screen. With the help of TalTech Connection Software. Since 2002 proven to be worthwhile & durable for us ... not sure if others see it that way?
