GERMAN STREET GAMING
bulk coin feeder that feeds the coins individually into a coin validator. The v² pelicano does both tasks in one product – saving space and cost for manufacturers by merging two systems into one. The banknote reader and recycling solutions from CashCode were on display on the NRI stand. Particular focus was placed on the B2B 60 banknote recycler that can recycle up to 60 notes. The reference customer for the German AWP market right now is JVH.
The second major supplier of coin validators to the Gauselmann Group is wh Münzprüfer who displayed the latest version of their coin mech, the EMP 900 v7, which has new sensoring technology for much better coin rim detection and allows an even faster coin acceptance rate. The partnership with Italy’s Paytec has paid particular dividends with the successful implementation of the Paytec Mini Hopper with the wh Münzprüfer hopper scale HZW 100. This solution is favoured by Gauselmann as it offers the distinct advantage that operators can see exactly how many coins are in their machines.
Every operator wants to have as many coins in their machines as necessary and not a single coin more – as this capital is needed for other investments. Therefore, the Gauselmann software links up with the Mini Hopper / hopper scale to inform operators in real time of the number of coins in each and every machine. The
affordable price in a compact size. Space is often a premium in gaming machines and so the goal is to offer a complete payout system in a limited space. The SMART Payout has the unique feature that is can pay back 80 mixed denomination notes from one system.
new ES005.M from wh Münzprüfer takes the coin insert, anti-pin system a step further as it includes a transponder with RFID technology so that plastic chips can be used in future. This is a popular solution for outdoor ticketing machines – the coin entry remains closed until a coin is placed near it. This hinders wind and rain entering through the coin slot and hampers the vandalism/cheating temptation via the coin validator. The company quoted its latest success with this product – it is being fitted in the ticketing machines in the underground in China.
Innovative Technology (through their subsidiary Automated Transactions (ITL) GmbH in Germany) exhibited their complete cash-handling range at the show. The company goal for 2011 is to offer coin and banknote payout at an

The norm in banknote recycling is to have a set of rolls to stack the individual banknotes – so the number of denominations that can be recycled depends on the number of rolls. This is not the case with the SMART payout – it can payout any of the notes that have been stored / paid into it. In a similar vein, the SMART Hopper can payout any coin that is in it. With a capacity of 1,500 coins, manufacturers will be asking themselves if there is still a need to use several hoppers (as has been common place) to pay out coins of different denominations. The NV11 with its 30 note payout feature is another recycling product. Innovative Technology has played a defining role in the low-cost money-handling market and the success of the company is clear to see in many, many countries. The philosophy of creating new products born of real market requirements or potential future benefits, never stopped the company from going different ways in size or function. This company is indeed true to its name.
Further exhibitors for money handling included Comestero and Phoenix Mecano. A noticeable absentee was Azkoyen.
