Ribao CS-10S Coin Counter vs Kolibri KCS-2000 Coin Counter

Buy the Kolibri KCS-2000 if you need to sort, count and roll mixed US coins into wrappers. Buy the Ribao CS-10S if you handle large volumes of one denomination and need raw speed. The Kolibri is the more versatile machine: it sorts five denominations, fills coin tubes and bins, and has a batch setting, but it is plastic-bodied and slow at 220 coins per minute. The Ribao is metal, counts about eight times faster at 1,800 coins per minute, and has a bigger display, but it does not sort or wrap. Owners of the Kolibri say it works as advertised, with jams when wrapper edges are bent.

• Choose the Ribao CS-10S if you count high volumes of a single coin type, such as a laundromat, arcade or bank back office, and want a metal body and fast throughput.
• Choose the Kolibri KCS-2000 if you deal with mixed coins and need them sorted into bins or rolled into wrappers, with batch counting and a per-denomination report.
