Hitachi ST-350F Currency Discriminator – High-Speed ATM Fitness Sorter
The Hitachi ST-350F is a top-tier currency discriminator designed for organizations that demand both high-speed processing and meticulous banknote quality management. Engineered for financial institutions, casinos, and major cash centers, the ST-350F seamlessly integrates rapid counting with advanced fitness sorting and robust multi-currency support. This 1.5-pocket "workhorse" ensures your outgoing cash meets strict quality standards while protecting your operation with bank-grade counterfeit detection.
Professional Quality Control & Fitness Sorting
- ATM-Ready Fitness Sorting: The ST-350F is a precision quality-control hub. It automatically classifies banknotes by condition, separating crisp bills from those deemed "unfit" (soiled, torn, or taped) to ensure your cash is ready for ATM loading or high-quality recirculation.
- Detection of Physical Defects: The machine instantly isolates notes with holes, tears, tape, heavy soil, stains, and folds. This reduces manual labor and helps your business avoid fees associated with low-quality bank deposits.
- Non-Stop 1.5 Pocket (1+1) Workflow: Featuring a dedicated 100-note reject pocket, the ST-350F diverts unfit or suspected bills without pausing the count. This ensures a continuous flow at speeds up to 1,000 notes per minute (NPM).
- Mixed Currency & Global Trade: Simultaneously process and value different denominations and currency types. Its advanced Mixed Currency Handling makes it an essential tool for international exchanges and multi-national businesses.

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.
