[Req] Euro Coin Sorter/Counter

Colonel Sanders

Anyone know a decent website/shop where I can purchase a coin sorter or coin counter. I save up my loose change and count it every year. Its a pain as I usually have over a grand!!!!

dubmick

I'll count it for you for €500

Mr. Presentable

€20.00 per week in loose change :eek:

Lidl (or Aldi) sometimes have them. There was a thread on this before, but don't remember.

I need one too, in the same boat. My Chuppa chupps tin is overflowing with loose change. I couldn't be arsed counting it but would love to turn it into a new TV.

Bought one in Power City last year, saw Harvey Normans had them too.
Think I paid about €25 or so for it.

Colonel Sanders

is it main powered or what? did it work???

robbie1876

I got one of those Power City ones. It is indeed mains powered. It's more of a coin sorter than a coin counter, but handy all the same. Sometimes the coins get jammed in the mechanism, but are easily levered out.

one for sale on adverts.ie but you better be quick.

There is a handy thing in some spars that gives you the cash for it, well a voucher that you take to the till, less I think 9%

Be handy to some of us, but not if ya have a grand, imagine the poor fella on the nightshift

Nearest one to me is the one beside the millhouse pub in Stillorgan

They come up in clearance auctions at Wilsons sometimes. No idea how much they go for, but if you know someone who goes along then they might be able to keep an eye out for you.

I've had one or two battery powered ones, problem was holes for the 1c coins were too small. Lol. so as a result there was no 1c coin sorting. I think it came from aldi...

Mains powered are probably better

My most recent change jar emptying yielded over 800 euro.
Counting it by hand is fairly satisfying ;-)

gather all the coppers and throw it into one of those machines in Spar, I got about 75 quid after their commission.

For the rest, count a single usefully-sized stack (e.g 1 or 2 euro in 20c coins) and then build stacks adjacent to this, checking only the height is the same.

After the first few of a certain size you instinctively start removing the exact correct number of coins from the pile, it's creepy.

If you have a digital scales just count up one bag of each type of coin and then make the other bags weight the same. Thats how I used to do it when working in Spar. it's also a good way of varrifying how much is in each bag.

Damn, I thought I invented that - even called it "The Stack Method".

If you didn't patent it, I owe you nothing

Good name! I think you should invent something else that involves stacks, just so you can use it again.

Try www.dyons.ie
AFAIK Maplin used to sell a battery powered coin sorter but it isn't on their website. Try a local Maplin just in case.

Which Spars do this?

Tipsy Mac

Dunnes Stores had some at Xmas for about €15 or €20, might still be around in some of the shops.

sharkman

Harvey Normans have them for €20

Juiceman

If you're looking for a professional coin counter/sorter you could also try http://www.airgead.ie

Saw one yesterday in the Centra on Dame St (beside the financial regulator's office), on top of their drinks fridge, 20 quid

hi there
just thought I'd let you know my search for coin sorter yielded results in Harvey Normans, thanks to a post here. It was a Christmas special but the nice lady said she'd order one. Cost 30 yokes:)

Anyone know of any working machines in Tallaght or nearby, the one at Newlands Cross is always out of order when I go there.

Thanks

Will be in the city tomorrow... does anyone know if Harvey Normans/Power city or maplins are selling any at the mo, cause i need to get one.

(I did ask in Harvey Normans in Airside at the weekend, but the reply i got from the girl at the counter was "a Wha? - FERGAL! Do wes hav any of those money sorto yokes?")

The answer was no.

Any ideas on where to get one at the mo?

voodoo1984

Yea www.airgead.ie have a big selection. They specialise in cash handling equipment.

hick

sorry a starting price of €209 doesn't exactly constitute a bargin, that would clear out most coin jars

Affiliation me thinks?

PeterDuggan

I have a simple "gravity operated" one (no batteries or power needed) - used once I think, still in the box.

Looking to part with this?

PeterDuggan

Yes for a few shekels. If anyone's interested pm me please.

Debenhams had them earlier in the year less than €20, more a sorter than a counter but it does the job

Sounds ridicilious but I was going to use the coin sorter in tesco's when I lived in the U.K (the one that charges you 7.5%) when i decided that I would just do my big shopping and pay for it with my coins at the self service machine, it wasn't too busy so there was still empty self service units, actually did it twice because I had soo much change!

echoindia756

Check out gadgetireland.com - they have 2 different types of coin sorters for a good price.
