Known for Semacon’s legendary "Bank-Grade" durability, this machine is the definitive choice for extreme speed and precision in demanding, high-volume environments.
Instant Mixed Value Intelligence & Industry-Leading Speed
- Automatic Value Discrimination: Stop wasting time on manual presorting. Simply place a mixed stack of $1s, $5s, $10s, $20s, $50s, and $100s into the hopper. The S-1600V recognizes each denomination and provides a verified total monetary value instantly.
- Unmatched 1,800 BPM Velocity: Choose from four selectable counting speeds (up to 1,800 notes/min). This industry-leading top speed allows you to process massive cash volumes in a fraction of the time required by standard machines.

1. Does a regular bill counter tell me the total dollar value?
No. A standard bill counter counts the number of pieces (quantity), not the denomination. For example, if you put in ten $5 bills and ten $20 bills, the machine will tell you there are "20 bills." You must pre-sort your money by denomination to calculate the total value. (If you need the machine to automatically calculate value for mixed stacks, check out our Currency Discriminators.)
2. How does the machine detect fake money?
Standard counters use two primary methods:
UV (Ultraviolet): It checks the paper’s reaction to UV light. Real US currency paper does not glow, but many counterfeit papers do.
MG (Magnetic): It scans for the magnetic ink used in the printing of authentic currency.
3. Can I count items other than currency?s.
Many of our regular bill counters can count other paper items of similar size, such as vouchers, tickets, or coupons, provided they fall within the machine's thickness and size specification
4. What is the "Batch" function used for?
The Batch function is a favorite for retail managers. It allows you to preset a number (like 25, 50, or 100). The machine will count exactly that many bills and then pause, allowing you to remove the stack and put a rubber band or paper strap around it for a bank deposit.
5. Why is my counter "double-feeding" or "jamming"?
This usually happens for one of three reasons:
Thickness Adjustment: There is a small tension screw on the back. If your bills are very new (thin) or very old (thick), you may need to adjust it slightly.
Dirty Sensors: Dust from paper currency can coat the sensors. A quick blast of compressed air usually fixes this.
Poor Loading: Ensure the bills are squared up and placed flat into the hopper for the smoothest feed.
