Hitachi ST-350 High-Speed Mixed Currency Discriminator & Fitness Sorter
Hitachi ST-350 Currency Discriminator – 1.5 Pocket Mixed Bill Fitness Sorter
The Hitachi ST-350 is engineered to be the ultimate cash management solution for high-volume environments, including commercial banks, credit unions, and Cash-In-Transit (CIT) operations. Combining industrial speed with advanced fitness sorting capabilities, the ST-350 transforms bulk cash handling into a secure, highly efficient process. Featuring a dedicated 100-note reject pocket, this machine allows for non-stop operation by diverting suspect or unfit bills without ever interrupting your primary counting flow.
Industrial-Grade Performance & Precision Quality Control
- Bank-Grade Fitness Sorting: Beyond simple counting, the ST-350 is a precision quality-control tool. It automatically analyzes banknotes for physical condition, efficiently separating crisp, fit notes from worn or damaged bills (e.g., those with holes, tears, soil, or tape) to meet strict regulatory recirculation standards.
- Non-Stop 1.5 Pocket (1+1) Design: Achieve maximum throughput with a dedicated reject pocket. While the main stacker processes your mixed denominations at 1,000 notes per minute, the reject pocket isolates questionable currency instantly, ensuring your count never pauses.
- Intuitive 7-Inch Touchscreen Interface: The ST-350 features a full-color, high-resolution touchscreen that simplifies operation and minimizes training time. Quickly switch between modes, view detailed denomination breakdowns, and manage batch settings with a single tap.
- Global Multi-Currency Support: Engineered for versatility, the ST-350 can process multiple currency types simultaneously. It provides instant total value calculation and authentication, making it a "workhorse" for international banking and exchange hubs.

1. What is the difference between a bill counter and a currency discriminator?
A standard bill counter is a "piece counter"—it tells you how many pieces of paper went through. A currency discriminator is a "value counter"—it uses digital eyes (CIS) to look at the bill, identify if it’s a $20 or a $100, and give you a total monetary value.
2. Is a currency discriminator better at catching fakes than a cheap counter?
Yes. Standard counters usually only check for magnetic ink or UV glow. Discriminators use Image Recognition, meaning they compare the actual artwork and security features of the bill against a high-resolution database. This is the only reliable way to catch "supernotes" or bleached bills (e.g., a $1 bill reprinted to look like a $100).
3. What does "1+1 Pocket" or "2-Pocket" mean?
This is one of the most searched terms.
- A 1-Pocket machine stops and beeps every time it finds a suspect or "unfit" bill.
- A 2-Pocket (1+1) machine has a separate Reject Pocket. It sends suspect bills to the top pocket while the main count continues without stopping. This is essential for high-volume environments.
4. Can currency discriminators count international money?
Most modern discriminators come with "Multi-Currency" modes. Because they rely on image scanning, they can be programmed to recognize the distinct designs of Euros, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, and Mexican Pesos, often handling them all in the same stack.
5. Why is my discriminator giving a "CIS Error"?
This is usually a sign that the "eyes" of the machine are dirty. Cash is incredibly dusty; we recommend using cleaning cards or a microfiber cloth weekly to wipe the sensors. If the sensors are blocked by dust, the machine can't "see" the bill to identify it.
