Product Description
Product Description
The QS-1 manual coin sorter is the perfect sorter for business or personal coin sorting. This model is unique in that it requires no electricity or batteries to operate. Simply turn the hand crank and the QS-1 sorts pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters directly into the 1 row coin tubes below. The large coin hopper holds up to 200 coins at a time. Plastic coin tubes are removable, making it easy to pull out coin-filled wrappers to be rolled and crimped. Hand Crank screws off to save space when storing. NOTE: Coins should be added slowly to maximize efficiency and reduce jams.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I hope the following may help you avoid some of the issues i read in comments from other reviews.
ASSEMBLY. The only thing you need to do is attach the handle. The tiny screw needed to secure the handle wouldn’t fit through the hole until I opened it up a bit. A minor assembly inconvenience. you’ll need a very small Phillips screwdriver.
COIN PROCESSING. I processed the coins without the paper wrapper in the collection tubes and put the wrapper on after the plastic collector was full. i found it was easier to discover when a coin went in the wrong slot. that didn’t happen very often, but it did occur maybe 3 or 4 times. I found the best way to keep from jamming was to use a slow steady cranking motion and put in only a handful of coins at the time in the feed hopper. Do not fill up the entire input tray. if in fact things get jammed up, a slight reversal of the handle normally solved the problem. The only complication was with foreign and US dollar coins. I was not smart enough to pre-check everything and I found about a dozen+ foreign coins and US dollar coins which for the most part caused a jam every time. Canadian dimes were able to sneak through. It can be a bit of a pain to remove those coins because there isn’t a way to disassemble the machine to get access to where the coins are. It’s basically a process of removing the collection tubes and turning the unit upside down and shaking it turning the crank and removing the offending coins by hand. another feature I liked was the overflow tray. it catches the extra coins and they can easily be placed in the plastic collector tubes or back in the input hopper. After a couple of tries I found the ideal cranking speed and never really had to place my left hand on the top of the unit as suggested. It was always pretty stable on the table top.
SUMMARY. I processed about $300 in coins in about an hour. For the money, I don’t think you can beat this unit. I don’t understand many of the negative reviews but maybe some of their problems could have been resolved with a little patience. I am quite pleased and how this unit worked right out of the box. It certainly is a lot faster than processing these coins by hand and the low cost is a plus. I think the unit paid for itself with just this one use when compared to coin star.
Based on other reviews, I purchased the Royal Sovereign coin wrappers, and filling them is very easy. However, since the assortment includes equal numbers of all wrappers, and I had mostly pennies, I found that I used up most of the penny wrappers and very few of the others. So now I have a whole box of nickel - quarter wrappers but I'm short on pennies. It would be better if you could purchase individual denominations of the wrappers.
As for the machine itself, here are a few observations:
1. It isn't accurate for pennies. I would often only get 49 pennies instead of 50. I think it has to do with the thickness of some of the pennies, how dirty they are, whether they are bent, etc. The problem, though, is that there is no way to know without recounting all of the pennies, which defeats the purpose of stacking them, since you have to dump the container out to count them and then roll the loose pennies. You could weigh them (if you have a very accurate scale handy), but I just tossed an extra penny or two into each roll instead. I think it would help if a simple counter were included that just tripped each time a coin went into a hopper.
2. When a hopper is full, the coins just start overflowing. That isn't a big deal, but it's a good reason (among others) not to be cranking too fast on this thing.
3. If you jam a coin and have to crank backwards to unjam it, don't crank too far backwards, as that will cause smaller coins to fall into larger holes. For example, dimes will fall into the penny holder. I didn't have any problem with that when cranking forward, as long as I cranked at a reasonable speed.
4. Overall, I like the crank system vs. electric, as it gives me fine motor control over the speed of sorting.
This machine is fine for occasionally emptying your pockets or purse of loose change. I would not recommend it for a business that handles a lot of coins, as it's relatively slow and doesn't have a counter. Since occasional use is all I have, it works fine for me and sure does beat having jars or bottles full of random coins. I just keep my change in here and roll the containers when they get full, take them to the bank, and swap them for some real money.
