Coin counting machines — Adelaide supply, national service

WaTo supplies, installs and looks after commercial coin machines — from self-service coin redemption units through to high-speed back-office sorters. Whether you run an RSL with gaming coin volumes, a bank branch processing daily deposits, or a retail chain reconciling tills, we'll match you with the right machine and keep it running properly. Adelaide-based, servicing nationally since 2001.

What are commercial coin machines?

Commercial coin machines count, sort and sometimes bag loose coins at high speed — hundreds to thousands of coins per minute. They're built for businesses that handle cash daily, not the coin jar on your kitchen bench. Self-service models like the CoinMax let customers deposit coins directly, while back-office machines like the Money Machine 2 let your team process floats, reconcile tills and prepare bank deposits quickly and accurately.

What we supply and support

Money Machine 2

High-speed coin sorter and counter built for back-office use — processes all six Australian denominations and outputs accurate totals in seconds.

CoinMax self-service units

Customer-facing coin redemption machines for bank branches, RSLs and retail — fast, accurate and simple enough for anyone to use.

Coin bagging and wrapping

Machines that sort, count and bag coins into RBA-standard rolls ready for banking or float preparation.

Installation and configuration

We set up your machine on-site, calibrate it for Australian denominations and integrate it with your existing cash-handling workflow.

Ongoing maintenance

Scheduled servicing to keep hoppers, sensors and reject mechanisms working properly — fewer jams, fewer miscounts.

Training for your team

Hands-on walkthroughs so your staff can operate, clear jams and run basic cleaning routines with confidence.

Who it's for

  • Banks and credit unions processing coin deposits across branch networks.
  • RSLs, clubs and casinos dealing with high volumes of gaming coins daily.
  • Retail chains, supermarkets and large stores reconciling multiple tills.
  • Transport operators, parking companies and vending businesses collecting coin revenue.

How it works

  1. We assess your coin volumes. A conversation about how much coin you handle, how often, and where bottlenecks sit in your current process.
  2. We recommend the right machine. You get a clear recommendation — not the most expensive option, but the one that fits your throughput and budget.
  3. We install and calibrate on-site. Your machine is set up, tested with live coin and configured for your specific workflow and reporting needs.
  4. Your team gets trained. Staff learn how to operate the machine, handle common issues and keep it clean between services.
  5. We maintain it long-term. Scheduled servicing, firmware updates and priority repairs — one phone call when something needs attention.

Why WaTo for coin machines

  • We've been supplying and maintaining currency equipment across Australia since 2001 — we know what works in the field.
  • One provider for supply, install, training and ongoing maintenance — no finger-pointing between vendors.
  • We carry genuine spare parts and can get most machines back up the same day.
  • Adelaide-based team with national service reach — metro and regional sites covered.
  • We work with your operations and finance teams, not just your IT department.

Coin machine questions

What's the difference between the Money Machine 2 and the CoinMax?

The Money Machine 2 is a back-office workhorse — your staff feed coins in and it sorts, counts and reports. The CoinMax is a self-service unit designed for customers or members to deposit coins themselves, typically in a branch or club foyer. We'll help you work out which suits your setup.

How fast can these machines count?

It depends on the model. The CoinMax processes up to 4,100 coins per minute. Back-office sorters like the Money Machine 2 handle several hundred per minute with full denomination sorting. We'll match throughput to your actual daily volumes.

Do you service coin machines we didn't buy from WaTo?

In most cases, yes. We service and maintain a range of commercial coin equipment regardless of where it was originally purchased. Give us the make and model and we'll confirm.

Can coin machines integrate with our banking or POS system?

Many commercial models support data export and can feed totals into your reconciliation or deposit workflow. We'll check compatibility during the assessment and configure the integration as part of the install.

Our story

Built in Adelaide, since 2001

WaTo Consulting was founded by John Watson in Adelaide in 2001. Over two decades it's earned a name for tailored work across a wide range of industries — helping businesses of every size run more smoothly, work more efficiently and grow steadily, without blowing the budget or disrupting the day-to-day.

Emma Watson (née Dickenson) played a significant part in shaping what WaTo became. She brought real expertise and a clear vision for where it could go — expanding the business, bringing in new systems and fresh thinking, and raising the standard of how things are done. A great deal of what WaTo is, we owe to her.

Today it's all tailored, never off-the-shelf — IT & Digital, Business & Web Hosting, built around what each client actually needs. Over the years those areas have come together under one roof: our IT & Digital, Currency, Business and Web work (through Whosts.au) now all sit within WaTo Consulting — one team, one standard, looking after the lot.

When you work with us, you're not a client — you're a partner.
