Cassida C100 Electronic Coin Sorter/Counter, Countable coins 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 250 coins/min, 110 VAC

It worked great for me with rolled tubes and bins. Just be sure to feed it the correct coins (no Canadian pennies in a US machine), and if possible, remove bent coins, debris, and stray objects before loading the hopper. Objects larger than the Susan B Anthony dollar will settle to the bottom of the lower sorter when you turn it off. If you have slender fingers, you might be able get to this area by opening a door in the back of the unit. Worst case, the instructions show how to open the unit instead. Since the mechanism pushes the coins from the smallest to largest opening, smaller debris tends to accumulate in the dimes tube/bin. When using tubes, the dimes may not fall flat due to the debris, leading to overflow, so again, relatively clean input will give better results. As for the speed, it sorts them at a rate of 300 per minute, which is 5 coins per second as long as the lower mechanism is not empty. I believe some of the complaints about speed don't take into account that the upper hopper only drops more coins into the lower mechanism when it detects more coins are needed, which introduces a pause. However, the operation is smooth and automatic, so you can just set your bin counts and it will stop when any of the tubes/bins are full. in my experience, the slowest part of the operation is the person using it, as it can fill the tubes faster than I can replace and crimp them. The bins and tubes are cleverly designed. Each has a magnet in front and a tab in the back to keep them from tipping, yet can easily be removed and replaced. I have only one complaint: the machine had a strong electronic/chemical smell that took a day to subside.

We have a conference in which we sell books and have registers. We usually have about 7 registers open at one time and at the end of every night we need to count the tills and sales and pull the money from the registers. We used to count the till change by hand, which took us over an hour to count all 7 registers when all you want to do is go home. We have a 3 point check so the change gets counted 3 times so counting change by hand was a slow, tedious process that sometimes was made longer by human error and the need to count more than than the 3 times. Once we got this machine it cut our counting time in half if not more. We spend only 30 minutes counting all 7 tills. The change machine is fast, effective and accurate. Now to the machine itself. The rotating blade where the change is placed and turned to be sorted is somewhat slow as it rotates at a rate which may seem slow at first, but it can sort a whole tray of coins in less than a minute. It sounds slow, but it's actually a fast process. You can also push the coins a little over the rotating tumbler if you feel its rotating slowly. This does not affect the sorting process, only pushes the coins down the sorting hole faster. This machine is equipped with a printing function which is a GODSEND. We love this printout. We have multiple people using this one counting machine so for them to be able to printout a report of the change makes going between groups that much quicker. No one has to sit there and write down the change numbers. They simply attach a coin counting printer and with a press of the button the report will print. It's fantastic. This is by far the best feature of the machine. The machine sorts by size so the trays do not sit in numerical order, e.g. $1, .25, .10, .05, .01; but rather it goes by size so the 1 cent comes before the 5 cents which is just something we had to get used to when dumping the coins back into our till trays. It's a slight annoyance but not enough to not want to use the machine. Another thing to note, the machine does not discriminate between foreign currency and US currency. So if you have a foreign currency that is the same size as a penny, it will be sorted with the pennies. I tried this machine with some foreign currency that we had and for the most part anything that was odd sized or shaped ended up in the $1 tray, but if there was a coin that was the same size and shape as the other US coins, it sorted into those trays. We have only used the tray functionality, and not the coin wrappers; however, the idea that we could roll coins easily is fantastic. I cannot attest to the ease of this feature however. You can set the machine's functionality to sort the different denominations to a certain dollar amount; meaning you can set pennies to only sort up to $0.50 which is the amount of a penny roll. The machine will stop sorting the pennies until you stop and reset the sorter. This goes for all the other denominations. This makes rolling the coins very easy. Again, we haven't used the rolling feature, but it is nice to be able to have in case we do use it in the future. The carrying handle is convenient if you ever need to move it; it is heavy but not too heavy to carry. Definitely recommend this if you are counting a lot of change.

Initial entry from May 2013.... I had high hopes for this item, especially with the high regard given by prior reviews. I would take coins I accumulated over time, and toss them in the hopper, then once it was full, would turn on the machine and sort them out for rolling later on. One night, the machine jammed, then went dark as the fuse had blown on it. Discovered that one coin had turned sideways and prevented the feeder from turning. When it went dark, I figured the fuse blew because of the jam. After clearing out all coins, I turned it upside down to remove the fuse, but heard coins rattling inside. Had to disassemble the motor assembly from the shell to discover coins had gotten into the circuitry bay, across the electrical circuits. A coin had shorted out a part of it which is likely when the fuse blew. Cleaned all coins out completely, reassembled and insert new fuse. Nothing... whatever shorted out is apparently fried and the device will not power up anymore. Jams can happen with just about any sorter, but I'm very upset that coins could actually get into the fragile electrical components and fry the system for good. There should be a protective catch for any coins that drop into the electronics, possibly with an "escape" slot that would spit the coins out the back freely away from any sensitive electrical components. The user could then simply put the coins back in the hopper for another attempt at the sorting, without the need to disassemble the entire device to retrieve the coins from within it. UPDATE October 2013.... After a second attempt at contacting Cassida via email instead of their telephone tech support line, I got assistance with my machine. Because I have an electronics background, he suggested it may be the power supply board, and he shipped me a board so I could switch it out myself versus sending back the entire unit. That board change did the trick, and my coin sorter is up and running smooth again. Ran it hard this weekend sorting over $750 worth of coins. Used coin rolls in the tube sleeves, and the system worked great dropping the coins and stopping before overfilling. All I had to do was remove the full roll, crimp the open end, drop in a new empty, and press start. The machine jammed up on me only one time through the entire process. Carefully removed all coins from the hopper, removed the top cover to find a quarter had turned 90 degrees in one of the holes along the top, and wedged itself in causing the jam. It was an easy fix and the system was up and running again. I've seen $30 and $40 sorters jam up quite frequently. If I'd used one of those I'd still be sorting what I had. While this sorter is a bit pricier, it almost never jammed. Had all my coins sorted within a few hours over a couple nights, all while I was just sitting and watching TV.

I have owned this Cassida C300 since July of 2025. I didn't want to write a review until I have had it and used it on a daily basis for quite some time. I own a laundromat and it is used on a daily basis to count/roll quarters. It is amazing! It work like a charm. I will say that it is very important to get good coin wrappers. The coin wrappers I use are the Huron Crimped Quarter Wrappers. They come in a box of 1000, so they're bulky but they work the best with this machine. My husband also uses the machine occasionally to roll coins from his change jar...it's just amazing how it separates the currency with ease and rarely any hiccups. Great purchase! Very pleased with it's performance.

This coin counter is awesome. It blasts through sorting coins perfectly. I had numerous jars of coins saved up for 15 or so years. I had mixed in Euro coins and other non-us coins as well. I needed to sort through everything then roll and take to the bank. One of the things that really sets this unit apart is the drop in coin trays. The machine blasts through sorting and dropping the right coin in the right bucket. It is very easy to visually inspect to confirm sorting is accurate and let me pull non-us coins out of the mix. I then rolled them coin type at a time (e.g. Quarters first, then dimes, etc). It was a lot more efficient rolling the same type of coin vs trying to have the machine sort through different ones and dropping them into the sleeves. I think this may be why people have issues. If they have anything mixed in with their coins it can screw up counting and sorting. Presorting takes the guesswork out. Sort everything into types, visually look at the coins to make sure all sorted ok, then blast away rolling one coin type at a time. When following this procedure the machine ran perfectly. It counted 100% accurately and made it very easy to pull out full sleeves and reload. The machine is super fast when counting the same coin type. By the time I folded the top of the coin sleeve the next one was full. It isn't the fastest machine in the world, but it much faster and more accurate than I could ever be. I also found that the counter was exactly right. I'm not sure why people are having problems with it. My guess is their machines may be dirty or they have non-standard coins. I tried to keep my machine clean as I ran through buckets of coins. I'd wipe it down between each batch. I had zero issues. Another thing that is very important is to use good quality coin sleeves that are preformed round. Do not use the flat coin wrappers. They will cause the machine to jam. I believe a lot of people are having problems because they are not using the right sleeves. Buy ones that are designed for automatic machines and read the reviews. The good coin sleeves that work well in automatic machines have good reviews and people comment on how well they work in coin counters. I used Royal Sovereign Coin Wrappers. They were perfect. They are boxed well and hold their shape. Drop them into the tube and in 15-20 seconds the wrapper is full. Occasionally the first coin may be slightly slanted (not flat on the bottom), but the length of the Royal Sovereign wrappers is long enough to hold the full coin count even if they are somewhat out of alignment. Pull it out, tap the bottom a bit and they fall perfectly straight. Fold the top over and repeat. Outside of having the bank do this for you, this is the best system I have found to efficiently and accurately wrap coins. It is much better than the automatic machines at grocery stores. Not only do they keep a percentage of the money, I would not be surprised if they miscount in their favor. You can't see what is going on inside of the machine. Wrap your own coins. It is as easy as pie with the Cassida C200.

when using the coin slots the only negative comment i have is that the machine doesnt stop when the wrapper is full. you have to pay attention to when the wrapper is full. also the coin drawers do not stay put and trying to get them to stay in place is impossible. I spend more time with the drawers than sorting the coins. the machine itself works great and sorts well. it is, however much easier to use than counting yourself.

This Cassida C300 coin counter is as close as you will get to perfect outside of purchasing a commercial machine similar to what you might find in your local bank. I will share my experience using this machine. I am not a business owner, just making the point here that I don't have the need to regularly count coins as a business owner would. I store away my loose change when I have it and at some point want to count and roll up my coins to take to the bank. First I will say that this machine is accurate. It is important to use only the preformed coin wrappers. Even using the preformed wrappers you must be careful not to bend the wrapper at the open end where you would crimp it to hold the coins in. If there is a slight bend meaning that if the open end where the coins fall into is not completely round, then you will have coins that don't make it into the wrappers and the coin will hit the wrapper and bounce out or jam up that denomination. If this happens to you, simply check the coins that are in the wrapper and it should match up with what the machine is showing on the counter. This includes any coin(s) that bounced out after hitting the bent wrapper. Each denomination has a wrapper holder which holds the wrapper in place as the machine is inserting the coins. A few times I stopped to do a check and can inform you that this machine is accurate. My very first time using this machine I started with only pennies. It was my way of testing the accuracy and also to eliminate the possibility of a penny popping into one of the other chambers. This did happen but it wasn't the fault of the machine. This happened approximately 3 times and each time I needed to make sure the end of the wrapper was perfectly round. I didn't experience any this anymore after that. When you are first using this machine you are feeling out the machine which helps you to be able to run it with ease after you become familiar with it. When you want to wrap coins, it is important to go into the settings to set the number of coins to go into each wrapper based on the denomination. Once you set the quantity for each coin you can leave it and it will recall it when you power on again. If you are wanting to just count coins then you can clear out the quantities in the settings and just run the machine. This machine also accepts the $1 coins which is a plus in my opinion. I don't regularly get the dollar coins but it's nice to know that it can handle those as well. I just couldn't see myself paying CoinStar or other commercial coin counting machine to count my coins when I could invest in my own machine that will not only count but wrap my coins too. All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase of this Cassida C300 Coin Counter/Wrapping machine. I may update my review later if there is anything I forgot that bears mentioning. Hope this helps you.

We bought it to use for Penny wars and book fairs at a school. It is not as fast as the description leads you to believe. It also will count Canadian and British coins sometimes. Which means that you have to do a recount. It is much better than counting by hand but I wish it was a little more accurate so recounting didn’t occur. Also the biggest complaint is that the boxes want to fall out if you aren’t holding them. It looks like they should have a hook that latches on the back but it doesn’t. So if you have coins shooting out quickly into it then it wants to fall out and create a mess. It’s decent for the price and the problems aren’t huge.
