So let’s think about this…
OK, so I bought a coin scale. For years I have been just taking the coin count from the gin-san timers and matching that with the bills taken from the coin machine, believing this and in the hope that they were right.
So the coin scale says 934.00, the #’s on the timers say 841.75, the bills count up at 894.00.
So given the scale is within .50 accuracy, this tells me that there is 92.25 difference between what the gin-san timers say and what the actual count is, the bills come in at 894.00 which is 40.00 difference between what the bills in the changer say as compared to the actual count in the bay which should be 934.00.
What I’m trying to say is that you should always count the coins from the bay and put that amount as you sales, the timers were off, the bills were off. So I can only say with some certainty that the actual amount of sales is 934.00.
Anyone questioning this should always use whatever coins are in your coin box as the actual count of business you have done for the day.
Instead of bringing home thousands of quarters from multiple locations and counting them in a coin counter, I got lazy and thought that is would be easier not to do that but to match the coin count on the timers with the bills and I should be close, and sometimes it is, but for the most part it is incorrect.
The only way to know is to count the coins you have in your coin box. This is just my opinion and I am sure there are many who do it in different ways, but I have been in the business for 28 years and one thing I can say for sure is this is the correct way to keep track of the actual sales you are doing.
