Wet Coin sorter

[LisaLyons]

I've had a Brandt & currenting use the Scancoin 303 - they both will work with wet coins but you have to baby them a bit. I've gone to a heat gun instead of a hair blow dryer. It heats up the coins and they dry a lot better. I also start by putting them in a bucket and set the heat gun blowing down so the coins get nice & hot and dry themselves. I've use a old Klopp coin holder on top of a bucket where I point the dryer on them and dry them as much as possible, then they go into the Scancoin 303. If you point the dryer at the point the coins go into the sorter of the Scancoin, it will pretty much keep the mechanics dry and will be able to keep counting. Hope this makes sense - I can send you a pic if it's not clear.

Most sorters were designed to handle currencies only. Tokens are dropped into one of the currency bag/cup. I do have a Magner to handle loose change. SC360 does count the larger coin and reject the smaller through the side. I count dollars first then tokens, then quarters. It would be nice to have a counter than can count quarters first then others since we get more quarters than denominations in number. It does count OILY coins slow. Had anyone seen a counter/sorter separate by coin content properties instead of sizes only?

I use counters too.
But does anyone use the weight machines either by themselves or to double check the counters?
Are they accurate?

The good counting scales are very accurate, probably 99.98%. You'd want the counter to verify the scale, not the other way around. To be honest, you can get pretty close with a good bathroom scale since you won't get 100% accuracy with an $800 one.

We use a scale for counting. After checking the accuracy with our Klopp counter, the scale was within 1 quarter (+/-) at 4000 quarters or $1000. I've never had any bags returned from the bank.

What scale do you use?
Where did you get it and at what cost?

It is a DIGI brand model DMC-688. I bought it used from someone here on the forum. Don't remember what I paid for it, but it was much under the cost of a new one.

I've used the same model - no matter how carefully I leveled it before use, it was always exactly $1 short at the $1,000 mark.

If you were to allow for wet coins adding weight that old scale might be perfect. Perfect is hard to beat and near perfect is hard to find.

How much are you looking to count at one shot?

Bought some scales at Harbor freight that weigh in Grams, but I only weigh out $200.00 in quarters at a time.
