Best electronic coin counters and sorters

Top pick: Kolibri KCS-2000 — the safest bet for regular use. It takes a big hopper of mixed coins, counts fast, and has the strongest owner feedback of the machines here, so it suits a household with a jar habit or a small shop's daily till.

Who the others suit:

• Cassida C300 — the step up for a business: heavier-duty build and a large hopper for long counting sessions.
• HK SYSTEMS HK-2D — a solid, simpler two-row sorter for lighter home use.
• KFFKFF / VEVOR — budget sorters if you only count change now and then.
• Tube-and-wrapper sets — manual sorting with paper wrappers, for people who want to roll coins by hand.

Skip the no-name automatic machines with very few or poor ratings; coin counters jam, and support matters.
