Ribao BCS-160 Two-Pocket Mixed Denomination Money Counter - Built-in

In this review of the Ribao BCS-160 mixed denomination money counter, the bottom line is simple: this is a workhorse for businesses and institutions that need fast, accurate cash processing with strong counterfeit detection. The reviewer found the built-in printer and 1+1 two-pocket mixed denomination counting particularly useful for bank-style workflows, and the multiple sensors (2CIS, UV, MG, MT, IR) give confidence when accepting high volumes of notes. For users who need detailed serial tracking and a reliable reject pocket, the BCS-160 is worth considering.

Key Features

• Bank grade counterfeit detection: Multi-sensor detection (2CIS, UV, MG, MT, IR) reduces the risk of accepting fake notes and protects cash handling operations.
• Built-in printer: The integrated 58mm printer prints denomination breakdowns and serial lists, removing the need for a separate receipt printer.
• Mixed denomination counting: The 1+1 pockets let the machine count mixed bills and give a clear breakdown of quantity and total value on screen.
• Serial number recording: Serial numbers are recorded for USD, EUR and MXN, which helps with tracking and audit trails.
• Versatile sorting modes: Auto currency detection and sort-by currency, denomination, face, orientation or version adapt to different counting needs.
• Hygienic design: Dust-proof cover helps limit contact with contaminants and the machine runs with low noise for a better work environment.

Who It's For

The BCS-160 is best for banks, credit unions, currency exchange shops, supermarkets and law enforcement units that handle large volumes of mixed banknotes and need reliable counterfeit detection and record keeping. It fits workflows that require printing of breakdowns and serial lists without extra equipment.

Smaller retail shops or occasional cash handlers who only need simple batch counting and do not require mixed-denomination value counting or serial recording may find the BCS-160 more machine than required and could look for a simpler, lower-cost counter instead.
