Weight Based Counting
Weight based counting systems exist that can count both notes and coins on the same machine but are normally used to count smaller volumes of notes and do not sort or check for counterfeit or damaged notes.
Weight based money counters do not examine each note or coin separately but work by using finely calibrated loadcells to weigh a number of notes or coins and using a stored weight to perform a calculation to determine the quantity of pieces it has been presented with. These machines often use complex equations to take into consideration the natural variation between individual notes or coins.
Weight based money counters tend to be small in size so are often used on the desktops of bank tellers to check customer deposits or withdrawals or by retailers to count money on the shop floor. Although the capability of weight based money counting machines varies by model, typically they can count both notes and coins and check standard bank bundles or bags/rolls of coin to ensure that they are correct. This technology was invented by Edgar Biss who went on to form the global company Tellermate.

Famous quotes containing the words weight, based and/or counting:
“When a house is tottering to its fall,
The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“The time must come, my friend ... when brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword.... For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life, and it is our hope that they may find it here. For here we shall be, with their books, and their music, and a way of life based on one simple rule: Be kind.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“But counting up to two
Is harder to do....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
