Premax PM-VC110P Multi Currency Value Counter in Kenya
Mixed currencies slow down every cash office. Staff must sort notes by hand before they can count them. That wastes time and invites errors. The Premax PM-VC110P Multi Currency Value Counter solves this problem. It recognises the currency, counts the notes, and adds up their total value. As a result, one machine does the work of several.
Why Kenyan Businesses Need a Value Counter
Kenya sits at the heart of East African trade. Forex bureaus, hotels, safari lodges, banks and border-area traders receive many currencies every day. A basic note counter only tells you how many notes you have. In contrast, a value counter tells you how much money you have. That difference saves time and protects your cash.
Key Features of the Premax PM-VC110P
- Auto currency identification: The machine recognises each currency as the notes pass through.
- Mix value counting: It counts mixed currencies and denominations in one run, then shows the total value.
- Sort mode: It sorts by denomination, based on the first note counted. Different denominations are rejected.
- Variable speed: Choose 800, 1,000 or 1,200 notes per minute. Therefore, you can match the speed to your needs.
- Counterfeit detection: Image, magnetic, infrared and ultraviolet sensors check each note. The machine also flags half, chained and double notes.
- Touchscreen control: A touch panel and a 3.5-inch TFT display keep the menu simple.
- Serial number reading: The machine records the serial numbers of counted notes.
- Large hopper: The hopper holds up to 500 bills, so you reload less often.
- Multi-language interface: Your team can work in the language they prefer.
- Batch, add and self-check modes: Bundle notes, build running totals, and test the machine yourself.
- USB software upgrades: You can update the software through the USB port.
- Optional printer link: You can connect a thermal printer for printed records.

Which Currencies Does It Handle?
Premax lists the family as suitable for currencies such as KES, USD, EUR, AED and ETB, among others. That includes the Kenyan shilling and the Ethiopian birr, so it fits East African trade well. Currency recognition depends on the machine’s loaded currency data. Please ask us to confirm your exact currencies before you buy.
How It Works in Daily Use
Operation is simple. First, place your notes in the hopper. Next, choose a mode on the touchscreen. Then the machine reads each note, checks it, and counts it. Finally, the total appears on the display. If it finds a suspect note, it stops so you can check it.
For full menu steps, read the Premax PM-VC110 user manual on ManualsLib.
Keep Your Staff Alert Too
Strong detection helps, but trained cashiers add another layer of safety. The Central Bank of Kenya explains the security features of genuine notes on its currency services page. Share these tips with your team, and use them together with the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it count different currencies together?
Yes. Mix value counting lets you count several currencies in one batch.
Does it detect fake notes?
Yes. It uses image, magnetic, infrared and ultraviolet checks. Still, staff training remains important.
Is it right for a small shop?
Maybe not. If you only count Kenyan shillings, a standard counter may be enough. However, if you handle foreign cash, this model pays for itself in saved time.
