Weighting Your Coin in Laundromat Collections
By: “Laundromat 123”
For years I used scales to weight the quarters in my collections to save time in the coin collection process. They were close to being totally accurate, within a few coins of being exact, but were adequate for counting quarters after a collection to load into my changer hoppers.
About fifteen years ago I purchased an AcuCount AC 603 coin counting scale. Alliance sells the item for $495.00 and Amazon has it on sale at $420.00 including coin tray, carrying case and charger. It also operates on batteries so you can easily and safely transport it to several locations. It counts all of the various coin denominations with the simple push of a button.
A Philadelphia native is the owner and offers a special price for laundromat owners and potential owners. Nice fellow. Mention “Laundromat 123” and receive a price of $379.00 for a complete system. You can take $20.00 off the following options: AC 603 (No Case or Backpack) $365, AC 603 (With Coin Tray only) $379, AC 603 (No Case No Coin Tray) $345. You really only need the last one unless you’re transporting from location to location. So this cost would be $325.00 plus freight.
I don’t normally make this type of recommendation, and I’m not making a dime on this information, merely directing folks to an extremely well-built and durable coin counting scale that I have used in my own operations for years. Call **800 518-8395 **for this discount.
I’m aware that many new store owners are now using card systems instead of coins, but with well over 60% of laundromats still using coin only or even hybrid stores, I thought this item might be a benefit to those who use machines to count their coin. Drop a single coin on the scale top and it registers it exactly. Hope this saves time for some laundromats owners who read these posts.
