The short answer
For commercial coin counting and sorting, WaTo Consulting supplies, installs and maintains machines such as the Money Machine 2 and CoinMax units for banks, RSLs, retailers and transport operators. The team is based in Adelaide, services sites across Australia and, in most cases, also looks after coin equipment bought elsewhere.
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 counter and sorter that works either as a self-service counter for customers or as a back-office sorter for staff. It 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, so you get fewer jams and miscounts.
Training for your team
Hands-on walkthroughs so your staff can operate, clear jams and run basic cleaning routines with confidence.

Coin machine questions
What's the difference between the Money Machine 2 and the CoinMax?
The Money Machine 2 works both ways: customers can use it as a self-service counter, or staff can run it as a back-office sorter that sorts, counts and reports. The CoinMax is built purely for self-service, so customers or members deposit coins themselves, typically in a branch or club foyer, and it is the faster of the two. 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. The Money Machine 2, used as a self-service counter or a back-office sorter, handles 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.
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.
