Pictures of these mythical coin counting machines?

[kennedyfan]

Out here in the West, we get rolls from our banks and have to re-roll our rejects to take to our dump banks. :P

But most of you here seem to live in the east or south or middle part of the US where you fill up bags attached to coin counting machines. (And if you are lucky, you top them off and buy them to look through, DROOL DROOL.)

I'm just curious what these count counting machines look like! Are they just big giant boxes like CoinStars? (Yes, we have those rip-off machines here, where my son did find a nice silver rosie in the reject tray last week) Or can you really see the bags as they fill up?

I don't expect anybody here creating a disturbance in their banks by taking photos of their dumping process, but maybe some of you happen to have some representative pictures of these machines. I don't think I'll ever see one of these in person, so can some of you guys and gals help satisfy my curiosity?

Where I'm at in Indiana, coin counters, save coinstar, are a thing of the past!

Not counting the penny arcades, this is what most of the coin counters I come across look like...

These are also painfully SLOW. Can take 20 minutes to dump $1K in Halves and it's taken me almost 1.5 hours to dump 2K in dimes.

A local bank just got a Coin Stream as pictured above, but it won't take halves or dollars...most likely because of the bank set up. I wasn't impressed when I dumped dimes recently.

The other places I dump have different looking machines...far different than the Coin Stream.

My dump bank has a machine similar to the CoinStar but there is a place you dump your coins and a conveyor belt takes them up into the machine. It is super fast and I really like the way it operates except they need large 55gallon drums under the floor because it's a pain in the butt when the bag fills up and you wait for a teller. You can't actually see the coins falling in the bag but when they open the machine there are different tubes with different denominations on them and they hang into the top of each bag. It spits out a receipt and you take it to the front to collect your money.

This is not a very good picture of one of these mythical machines, but it IS a good picture of what I did to one of them.

Wow those things are archaic! My counter at the CU can count $1k in dimes in around 3 minutes I swear. I've looked past that thing 100 times and I can't remember the brand.

I believe these are Magner brand coin counters.

coin counters around here generally look similar to these. (in fact at one branch its exactly the same, but other branches vary)

That's what the coin counter looks like at the one and only branch that sells me bags off their machine.

I don't know where in the West you are, but here in Utah coin counters aren't "mythical." I guess I should take a picture of my dump bank's counter next time I'm in there. Some of the Zions Banks around here use the Coinstream type machines.
