NAMA Expo Equipment Report

Cashcode Co. Inc.
The Bill-to-Bill' currency management system is a fully integrated, high-security, front-loading system that utilizes advanced bill recycling technology for cash and cashless transactions. It precisely validates, recycles, dispenses and bundles cash; breaks bills for change; and processes smart card transactions, all in one consolidated unit. Each of the three recycling cassettes can be programmed to accept any bill denomination or currency, storing up to 120 bills, and can be programmed for escrow function. The BackLoad SM bill validator is designed to provide maximum authentic currency validation. Multicolor optic sensors simultaneously scan both sides of the bill for optimal pattern recognition. This patented, noncontact inductive sensor maximizes counterfeit detection, and a scientifically developed dietectric sensor detects paper density, security threads and watermarks.

JCM American Corp.
JCM's "Triton" recycling unit was developed after the company recognized that an unsolved problem with vending machines is the way they run out of change and reduce the machine's possibility for transactions. JCM's Triton was designed to make use of space already available inside a vending machine without requiring additional space or getting in the way of internal operation or storage. Studies have shown that only about 5 percent of machines in use today are not compatible with the Triton. Current control boards in MDB are deliberately designed to not allow bill and coin returns, but the Triton works with the MDB to allow virtually any unit to recycle notes. What's more, the Triton was designed for easy "plug and play" installation, and this design technology has since been patented. Test results showed big increases in revenue on each machine where the unit's multivend feature was enabled and a Triton recycler was installed. Customer interviews showed a high level of customer satisfaction, with the most common comment being customers' liking the convenience of being able to use either a $1 or a $5 note, whichever they had on hand at the time and whichever was most convenient for them to use.
