Teachers Choice Digital Coin Counter Automatic Coin Sorter - 2023 Version - Automatically Sorts U.S. Coins into Individual Tubes and Keeps Digital Count, with 20 Coin Wrappers Included (Gray)

Exactly what I was hoping for!!!

I wrote the below review and want to provide an update. I purchased the coin counters in October for Christmas gifts which put me past the time Amazon allows for returns. Amazon did provide guidance and a number to contact the manufacturer, which I did. I was pleasantly surprised that the manufacturer was very nice and understanding...they actually sent me two replacement counters that work. Previous review: VERY cheap product, definitely not worth the money!! I bought five for my grandsons...two of the counters didn't work out of the box, not hopeful the others will continue working. All of the battery covers broke the first time when adding the batteries, two so bad they had to be taped close.

I bought this coin sorter and it is functional, but has some issues. The first is that you need to put in a coin and "wait" for the digital sensor to show the total before putting in the next coin. If you do this to fast, the counting will be inaccurate. This could be good for kids, teaching them patience and waiting to see the total amount in the top BEFORE they put the next coin in the slot. It is fun to watch, but twice as much as the cheaper "non-electric" models that are more functional and less fun to watch. The most pressing issues is that the tubes don't show when the tube is at the right amount to fill up the paper tubes, and I had to count them by hand, and then make a mark with a black sharpie to show where to fill the tubes up to. Why don't they put a mark on the tubes to tell people where to stop filling them up to? If this had better plastic coin tubes that have a mark on them for where to stop, that is what I need. Please send me tubes with a mark or sticker to show me and others who use this when the tube is at the right place to fill the paper coin holders. I would normally return this because it is hard to tell where to stop on the tubes... but if you can send correct tubes with the proper information on them, we will not have to return it. I might keep it anyway, because it got the job done, and it's easier to keep coins organized for someone who has change in their pockets on a daily basis (rather than throwing them all in a jar).

Works great!

It organized the coins well enough to get the job done. The Pennie’s would get jammed in the tube, the quarters wouldn’t travel into their tube. The counter would mix up the dimes and the Pennie’s so I didn’t get an Exact count. That all being said, it did the job well enough for the price.

It works and does count, but you have to insert each coin individually with some effort. It seems to use a lever to determine the diameter of the coin inserted to increase the "count" but you have to push each coin through individually. If you have a child, then this is a good idea. If you are an adult and want a simple way to separate a handful of coins, not a good idea. I'm going to keep it because I'm a gadget kinda guy and will see what it takes to remove that mechanical block and ignore the display of the coin amount. I was looking for something to separate coins, which this does, but the effort is too great.

Great for sorting money. Thanks

Do not waste your money on these banks. I sincerely doubt teachers recommended these. I made the mistake of purchasing four of these for my four grandchildren. None of them work properly. I even gave them bags of change, so they could watch the money move down through the banks. The money got stuck a lot of times as well as going down the wrong tubes. The banks also did not tally the amounts of money correctly. They were a real disappointment for the children and for me.
