Are you in need of a solid, reliable bill counter? One model you may want to take into consideration is the Cassida 5510 UV bill counter. This bill counter not only counts bills, but also includes built-in counterfeit detection. So is this the right machine for you? Read my review and find out.

To start with, Cassida is one of the best-known manufacturers of bill counters. They make a wide range of models, including coin counters. The Cassida 5510 UV is one of the best-selling bill counters we carry. Here are a few reasons why.

The 5510 UV can count up to 1300 bills a minute, which is pretty fast. This dramatically saves time and money versus manually counting bills. The 5510 is also dead on accurate. If you run the bills through the 5510 UV over and over, you will continue to come up with the same number.

The hopper on the Cassida 5510 UV can hold a total of 200 new bills or 100 old bills. Why the drop with used bills? This is because used bills have wrinkles, bens and tears which prevent the bills from laying flat. This machine will count the bills so quickly that you won’t be able to get another stack ready for counting before the counter finishes with the previous stack.

One big plus with the Cassida 5510 UV is its ability to detect counterfeit bills. It uses ultraviolet technology to scan bills as they are counted. If a bill does not pass the test, the machine will notify you and stop counting.

Another thing to remember with the Cassida 5510 UV is that it doesn’t have to count only bills. It can be used to count coupons, tickets and paper. It can also be used to count bills from other countries. As long as the bill is no smaller than 2 x 4-inches or larger than 4 x 7.33-inches, you’re good to go.

Be aware that while the Cassida 5510 is a bill counter, it is not a bill discriminator. This means it will give you the total number of bills counted, but not the total value of bills counted.

Overall I would consider the Cassida 5510 UV to be a great little counter. It is perfect for use in banks, businesses, schools, churches and other locations where bills are counted on a daily basis.

Bill counters can be a blessing and a curse, depending on the model you use. They are a blessing because they quickly count bills in just seconds. The can be a curse when you get the wrong machine, resulting in frustrating jams. So which bill counter should you get? Have you considered the ABC1150 bill counter? Here are a few reasons why the ABC1150 may be your best choice for counting bills.

Most bill counters will handle new crisp bills without a problem. Where many bill counters falter is when it comes to counting used, crinkly bills. This is because used bills have an uneven surface, making it harder for bill counters to grasp them.

The ABC1150 handles new and used bills the same. It can hold up to 200 new bills or 100 used bills. I have personally run used bills through this machine many times over and have never experienced an issue with used bills. The same goes with our customers. I have never heard customers report issues with the ABC1150 when it comes to counting new vs old bills.

The ABC1150 is one of the easier bill counters to set up. Many bill-counting machines require finicky adjustments to get them to pull bills in properly. The ABC1150 doesn’t require any fine adjustments. Simply put your bills in the hopper and let the machine do the rest.

The ABC1150 bill counter also has features such as an LED display and batch counting capabilities. If you need counterfeit detection capabilities, the ABC1150 is available in an “ULTRA” version that includes magnetic and ultraviolet detection.

The ABC1150 is also a compact little machine, including its own extendable handle for portability. It can easily be used on a desk, countertop or table. I have personally picked this up and moved it. While it feels hefty in construction, it isn’t an inconvenience to move.

As long as the bill fits the minimum and maximum size requirements, the ABC 1150 can be used to count foreign currencies, tickets, coupons and other paper. The “ULTRA” version may not be able to handle the counterfeit properties of foreign currencies. I would recommend contacting ABC Office prior to purchasing a bill counter with counterfeit detection if you plan on using it with foreign currencies.

The biggest con, in my opinion, is that the ABC1150 is not able to differentiate the differences in value between different denominations of bills. This really isn’t a fault as most bill counters can’t do this. You usually have to spend $2,500 plus to get a machine capable of doing that.
