My father's uncle owned a load of cigarette machines in and around Manchester, England in the 1970's & 80's. On Fridays and Saturdays my father and I would go and refill the cigarettes, empty the money, and fix any issues. When we got back to Bert's house my job was to sort and bag the coins. He had at least four others who worked for him and each round was about a dozen pubs and clubs, so there was a lot of sorting to be done. Bert had made a manual version of this out of various bits and pieces. I remember the hopper was an old saucepan. Once sorted, Bert's wife counted the coins using an electronic counter. Amazing when I think back at the ingenuity of people back then. Great video!

There are much older versions of this, I mean back in the 80's as a kid I had a cheap 5$ coin sorter with little containers for quarters, nickles, dimes and pennies and you'd drop the coins in and they'd roll down a little zig-zag and drop down into the tubes which had lines and a cut out so it wouldn't over fill. Then you'd just slip a coin roll over it and boom, done! Mind you this was just a kid's coin sorter, nothing high tech and old as dirt because my great grandfather gave it to me saying it was like the ones he saw in the banks growing up. (He passed away at 108 in 2006)

Very cool. I was a manager for an arcade back in the early 90s. We had a pretty cool electronic coin counter. I want to say it was a Brandt. Would do single coin type at a time since we just counted quarters and tokens. It could be set to roll or bag coins at 20, 25, 40, 50 and 2000. And now after 24+ years in IT, I am back doing game operations for the local barcade. For super cheap, I picked up an old Downey-Johnson coin counter. It works fine, despite being 40+ years old! A bit of cleaning and a new coin eject roller has it working perfectly. We just need to count quarters so it will do us just fine!

Best thing I have seen in long time.

The disadvantage of this style of machine is it cannot reject drachmas, francs, roubles, lira, euros, Fisher-Price 'My First Till' plastic coins, 2 pennies superglued together, or anything like that. Coinstars can. That makes it only suitable for professional use, where the operator can have a quick look at the buckets and quickly tell if he has been given a bucket of drachmas. Coinstars however can by used in public locations as they will actively reject drachmas and the likes.

Holy Smokes! I can't believe the logistics behind handling so many coins (a good problem to have, I guess). I didn't realize it was so labor intensive.

This video reminds me of the early 1970's when every Kmart had a Brandt sorter. They needed a lot of service due to their workout, not to mention the misc debris that included paperclips. They also had separate coin rolling machines so that the starting cash register "banks" had a uniform beginning fund for each cashier. Currency was all counted by hand. There were no mechanical currency counters back then, at least in the stores.

Got here from Reddit. Definitely a great video and a great channel!

Damn, you can afford to run the A/C now. lol cool video.

Thanks for the great and entertaining video. Have you ever seen a machine that sorts coins but also can read the dates and mint identifiers in order to separate any valuable collectible coins?

Awesome. I still got my "sort-n-save"... lightyears slower! ;-) Thanks for sharing!

@HerbOMatic - Question. Did you ever have situations where a smaller coin such as a dime get slotted into a larger slot such as the one for the quarter? If so, how often does it happen? How does the machine prevent this from happening? I feel like if a dime spun into the mechanism past the dime slot and at the right place and time, that it would land into a larger one.

I have been saving coins for over 25 years. I started with a 5 gallon water bottle, the type that when you order water they bring it in and turn it upside down and after that was filled I started on a 2 1/2 gallon water bottle of the same type. The big bottle weighs 175 pounds and the small bottle, which I emptied, had about 60 pounds in it. The banks used to take coins in bags, but now everything has to be rolled. I can't see buying an expensive machine that I'm only going to use once. Wish me luch!

No, they will not pass through the channel under the sort head, you can tell by the the rubbing noise. You have to stop the machine and with one latch open the hinged sort head and remove the bent or foreign coin.

@NeferetThePaladin

Ай бұрын

Becuase of the shapeof the head to the rotating tray, the coins are only allowed to enter the the outside or sorting ring at a certain point. Once they enter at the known and controlled point, they are then sorted with the smallest being removed first. They cannot enter the sorting ring from any point around the circle, one the one point that is designed to allow coins in.

I would have thought this machine had inductive sensors like the old JCM high-speed coin counter I once had. I guess JCM still had a valid patent on that technology.

My first thought at the way he posed the question "how many *moving* parts" my knee jerk thought was 'It must be something silly like 1 for him to be asking the question that way.' Then as he fed the machine coins and I heard it operating and saw how fast it was sorting I then thought 'the one moving part must be rotating/or spinning.. I bet it's cone shaped based on the vertical height it can't have room for a drum shaped sorting mechanism.' The he opened the machine and I audibly chuckled. I got 2 and a half right it seems. 😂

Hi, I don't understand why the coin doesn't fly outward due to the centrifugal force. The lid with the track has no frame to prevent this. How is the coin guided? From approx. 9.46, the coin should be pushed outwards. Can you explain this in more detail? Thanks!

Other than the milled slots in the top plate, the distance between the plate and the rotating wheel is smaller than the thickness of the coins. (It’s likely almost touching.) The coins can’t exit anywhere except the milled slots.

So which kind of dollar gets counted with those? Eisenhower, Susan B.Anthony, or the Sacagawea/Presidential coins? And interesting all it's going on is size. So conceivably if you'd had a bucket of Canadian coins it would have likely not cared?
