The short answer

Businesses use the Money Machine 2 to turn loose coin from customers or staff into counted, receipted deposits, which cuts manual counting and disputes over totals. WaTo Consulting has supplied, installed and maintained these machines across Australia from Adelaide since 2001, keeps parts in stock and aims to fix most issues the same day.

How the Money Machine 2 works

The Money Machine 2 is a floor-standing coin redemption system that works as a self-service counter or as a back-office sorter. Customers or staff pour mixed loose coins into the hopper. Enhanced coin discrimination sensors identify each denomination as coins pass through at speed, rejecting foreign coins and debris automatically. A 38cm colour touchscreen displays the running total and guides the user through the process. Counted coins drop into high-capacity bins (up to 140,000 in dual-bin mode) and the machine prints a receipt or voucher with the total. Transaction data is stored in memory and can be managed remotely via JetLink.

Why businesses choose the Money Machine 2

Reduce staff coin handling

Customers count their own coin at the machine. Your team spends less time on manual counting and reconciliation and more time on higher-value work.

Accurate every time

Enhanced coin discrimination technology provides precise denomination identification, which puts an end to disputes over totals or miscounted floats.

Handles high volume

Dual-bin configuration stores up to 140,000 mixed coins between collections. Built for locations that process thousands of coins a day.

Easy for customers

The 38cm colour touchscreen walks users through the process. Nobody needs an instruction manual: pour coins in, follow the screen, take the receipt.

Built-in debris handling

Foreign objects, damaged coins and non-coin items are diverted automatically. The count keeps going without interruption.

Central management

JetLink software connects multiple machines across multiple sites to a single management dashboard for reporting, balancing and diagnostics.

Money Machine 2 questions

Is the Money Machine 2 the same as the CoinMax?

They're different machines built for similar purposes. The Money Machine 2 features a large colour touchscreen and high-capacity dual-bin storage. The CoinMax is the fastest self-service counter at 4,100 coins per minute. We'll help you work out which suits your site and volumes best.

How accurate is the coin count?

Very accurate. The enhanced coin discrimination technology identifies denominations precisely. Suspect or foreign coins are rejected automatically, so the totals you get are reliable.

Can the Money Machine 2 handle all Australian coin denominations?

Yes. It's calibrated during installation for all six Australian denominations: 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2.

What kind of maintenance does it need?

Regular preventive servicing to clean sensors, check feed mechanisms and recalibrate coin discrimination. We set up a schedule based on your usage. High-volume sites typically need quarterly servicing.

What does a service visit cost?

On-site work on currency equipment is $360 per 2-hour block or part of one, plus GST, including travel to sites up to 100 km driving distance from the Adelaide CBD. Sites further away have a set travel charge of $1,750 per site and $230 per technician per night when an overnight stay is needed. Full details are on our rates page.

Who we work with

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. Rumour has it the story starts much earlier, with a young Wato on his grandfather's knee in front of a Commodore 64, learning to code in BASIC.

Emma Watson (née Dickenson) was part of the story for a stage along the way. She brought real estate and property management expertise, and a clear view of where the business could go: growing it, bringing in new systems and fresh thinking, and lifting the standard of how things are done. WaTo has been through plenty of shapes and stages since, but one thing she helped sharpen has never changed: being consistent for the client is a must.

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 Hosting work now all sit within WaTo Consulting. One team, one standard, looking after the lot.

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