CoinMax self-service coin counting machines in Adelaide

The CoinMax is the fastest self-service coin counter on the market — processing up to 4,100 coins per minute. Customers walk up, tip in their coins and walk away with an accurate total. No staff time, no manual counting, no arguments about totals. WaTo supplies, installs and maintains CoinMax units across Australia from our Adelaide base, and we've been doing it since 2001.

What is the CoinMax?

The CoinMax is a self-service coin redemption machine designed for high-traffic environments like bank branches, RSL foyers, supermarket lobbies and gaming venues. Customers pour loose coins into the hopper and the machine counts, sorts and totals them automatically at up to 4,100 coins per minute. Suspect coins are diverted to a return cup without interrupting the count. The machine stores up to 70,000 mixed coins in a single bin, or up to 140,000 in a dual-bin configuration — so it handles serious volume between collections.

CoinMax features

4,100 coins per minute

The fastest self-service coin counter available. Customers are in and out in minutes, even with large volumes of mixed loose coin.

Self-service operation

No staff needed at the machine. Customers follow on-screen prompts, pour in their coins and receive a receipt with the total.

High-precision coin discrimination

Advanced sensors differentiate Australian denominations accurately. Foreign coins, damaged coins and debris are rejected automatically without stopping the count.

Large bin capacity

Single bin holds 70,000 mixed coins. Dual-bin configuration holds up to 140,000 — fewer collections, less downtime between customers.

Through-the-wall option

Available in a through-the-wall configuration where coins and management controls sit behind the wall for added security in public-facing locations.

Remote management via JetLink

Monitor machine status, run reports and manage multiple CoinMax units across sites from a central dashboard — daily balancing and diagnostics handled remotely.

Who it's for

  • Bank branches and credit unions offering self-service coin deposit as a customer convenience.
  • RSLs, clubs and gaming venues processing high volumes of patron coin from gaming floors.
  • Supermarkets and large retailers adding coin redemption as a lobby service.
  • Any business that wants to convert loose coin into deposits without tying up staff.

How it works

  1. We assess your site. Where the machine will go, power and network requirements, foot traffic patterns and whether a standard or through-the-wall configuration suits best.
  2. We supply and install. CoinMax delivered, positioned, connected and calibrated for Australian denominations. Ready for customers on day one.
  3. We configure reporting. JetLink remote management set up so you can monitor transactions, bin levels and machine health from your office or across multiple sites.
  4. Your team gets a walkthrough. Staff learn how to empty bins, clear jams, run basic reports and handle customer queries about the machine.
  5. We maintain it long-term. Scheduled servicing, sensor calibration and priority call-outs. One phone call when something needs attention — we carry parts and know the machine inside out.

Why WaTo for CoinMax

  • We've been supplying and servicing CoinMax units across Australia since 2001 — we know the machine and the environments it works in.
  • One provider for supply, installation, configuration, training and ongoing maintenance.
  • We carry genuine parts and can get most machines back online the same day.
  • Adelaide-based team with national service coverage — metro and regional sites.
  • We set up JetLink properly so you can actually manage your machines remotely, not just have the software installed.

CoinMax questions

How fast does the CoinMax count?

Up to 4,100 coins per minute — the fastest self-service coin counter available. Even large bags of mixed coin are processed in a few minutes.

How often does the bin need emptying?

The single bin holds 70,000 mixed coins and the dual-bin setup holds 140,000. How often you empty depends on your foot traffic, but most sites manage with daily or weekly collection.

Can the CoinMax detect counterfeit or foreign coins?

Yes. The machine uses high-precision coin discrimination to identify suspect coins — they're diverted to a return cup automatically without interrupting the count for other coins.

Can you service CoinMax machines we didn't buy from WaTo?

In most cases, yes. Give us the model and serial number and we'll confirm. We service CoinMax units regardless of where they were originally purchased.

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.
