LIDIX ML-2VS-S Currency Discriminator – Serial Number Reader & 1.5 Pocket Counter
The LIDIX ML-2VS-S is a premium, high-speed mixed currency discriminator engineered for organizations that demand total transparency and uncompromising security. Featuring a dedicated 100-note reject pocket, the ML-2VS-S allows for non-stop counting by diverting suspect or unfit bills without pausing the primary count. Beyond mere counting, this advanced machine acts as a data hub, utilizing dual CIS sensors to record and track the serial number of every banknote processed—providing an unshakeable audit trail for high-security environments.
Advanced Data Capture & Bank-Grade Security
- Integrated Serial Number Reading: Eliminate manual record-keeping. The ML-2VS-S scans, records, and exports serial numbers in real-time, making it an essential tool for compliance, fraud investigation, and high-level auditing.
- Non-Stop 1.5 Pocket (Double Stacker) Workflow: The 1+1 pocket design ensures maximum throughput. While the main stacker counts your mixed denominations, the reject pocket automatically isolates counterfeits or unrecognized bills, ensuring your counting session never stops.
- Industry-Leading 1,500 NPM Speed: Accelerate your cash processing with adjustable speeds reaching up to 1,500 notes per minute. This speed, combined with its high-capacity hopper, makes it a "workhorse" for the most demanding vault operations.
- Dual CIS Counterfeit Defense: Safeguard your institution with a massive 7-point security suite: Dual CIS (Contact Image Sensors), UV, MG, MT, IR, and FL. This system instantly identifies and rejects sophisticated fake bills, ensuring 100% accuracy in every batch.

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.
