Product Description

The AL-952A Automatic Money Counter is a professional banknote counting, sorting and counterfeit-detection machine designed for businesses and organisations that handle cash on a regular basis.

Combining high-speed counting, mixed-denomination value counting, Dual CIS image scanning and multi-level counterfeit detection, the AL-952A provides an efficient solution for cash offices, retailers, financial businesses, supermarkets, wholesalers and other high-volume cash-handling environments.

Unlike basic note counters that simply count the number of banknotes, the AL-952A is designed to analyse banknotes for denomination, value, authenticity, orientation and other characteristics, depending on the selected mode and supported currency.

High-Speed Banknote Counting

The AL-952A is designed for fast cash processing, with published configurations offering counting speeds of up to 1,500 notes per minute. Other operating modes may use lower speeds depending on the counting function and machine configuration.

This makes the machine suitable for:

Daily cash reconciliation
End-of-day cash counting
Retail cash offices
Banknote sorting
Cash audits
Till reconciliation
Cash-intensive businesses
High-volume banknote processing

The large 500-note hopper also reduces the need to repeatedly reload the machine during larger counting jobs.

Dual CIS Banknote Recognition

One of the key features of the AL-952A is its Dual CIS technology.

The two Contact Image Sensors analyse the banknotes as they pass through the machine, helping the system recognise denomination characteristics and identify suspicious notes. Dual CIS technology also supports sorting functions based on denomination, face, orientation and other note characteristics.

This makes the AL-952A particularly useful when processing mixed denomination banknotes rather than only counting pre-sorted notes.

Advanced Counterfeit Detection

The AL-952A uses multiple detection technologies to help identify potentially suspicious banknotes.

Depending on the machine configuration, detection includes:

UV – Ultraviolet Detection
MG – Magnetic Detection
IR – Infrared Detection
Image Recognition
Size Detection
Thickness Detection
Magnetic Thread Detection
Serial Number Recognition on supported currencies/configurations

When a potentially suspicious or unrecognised banknote is detected, the machine can direct it to the reject pocket for inspection. This helps minimise interruptions to the main counting process.

Important: Counterfeit detection is an electronic screening aid and should not be regarded as an absolute guarantee that every counterfeit banknote will be detected. Suspicious notes should still be manually verified where authenticity is critical.

Mixed Denomination Value Counting

The AL-952A can process mixed denominations in supported currencies and calculate the total monetary value of the banknotes being counted. It can also provide a denomination breakdown, helping operators quickly determine not only how many notes were processed, but their overall value.

This is particularly useful for:

Cash reconciliation
Retail cash offices
Bank deposits
Daily cash summaries
Mixed cash collections
Financial administration
Multi-Currency Support

The AL-952A is designed for businesses that work with multiple currencies. Published specifications indicate support for up to 60 currencies, although the exact currency database and supported denominations can depend on the machine`s software and configuration.

The machine can automatically recognise currencies in supported configurations, reducing the need for operators to manually change currency settings.

Important: Always confirm that the required currency and current banknote versions are supported by the specific machine configuration before purchase.

Continuous Counting & Reject Pocket

The AL-952A features a dedicated reject pocket for suspicious, rejected or unrecognised banknotes.

With the reject pocket, the machine can separate problematic notes from the main stack, helping maintain a more continuous counting workflow. Published specifications list a reject-pocket capacity of approximately 50 notes, although capacities may vary by configuration.

Batch & ADD Functions

The AL-952A includes practical cash-management functions for everyday use.

Batch Function

Set a desired number of banknotes and allow the machine to stop once the selected quantity has been reached. This is useful when preparing standard cash bundles.

ADD Function

The ADD function allows multiple counting sessions to be combined into a cumulative total, making it useful when processing several stacks of banknotes.

Banknote Sorting Functions

The AL-952A can provide several sorting functions depending on the selected mode and currency configuration.

Banknotes can be sorted or organised according to:

Denomination
Face
Orientation
Currency
Version

These functions can help standardise cash before storage, reconciliation or banking.

Serial Number Recognition

For supported currencies, the AL-952A can recognise and record banknote serial numbers.

Serial number recognition can be useful for businesses that require additional cash traceability, verification or record keeping.

Large Capacity for Efficient Cash Processing

The machine features a large top-loading hopper with a published capacity of approximately 500 banknotes. The main stacker can hold approximately 200 notes, while the reject pocket can accommodate approximately 50 notes.

This configuration allows operators to process larger quantities of cash efficiently without constantly stopping to reload or clear the machine.

User-Friendly Touchscreen Interface

The AL-952A uses a large colour TFT/LCD display with user controls designed to make selecting counting and sorting functions straightforward.

Published specifications also indicate a multi-language interface, making the machine suitable for different operating environments.

Important Notes
Counterfeit detection should be considered a screening function, not an absolute guarantee of authenticity.
Currency support depends on the installed currency database and machine configuration.
Banknote versions and security features can change, so currency compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
Keep the rollers, sensors and banknote path clean for reliable operation.
Avoid feeding heavily damaged, folded or excessively contaminated notes into the machine.
For high-value or sensitive transactions, suspicious notes should be independently verified.
