FC300
Our latest high-speed ‘value’ friction note counter, perfect for cash-heavy businesses such as casinos, cinemas, leisure outlets, banks and Post Offices.

Counts the number and value of notes significantly faster than other methods
Flexible operation – piece count, batch and cumulative add facility
Can count multiple denominations of cash at the same time
Detects all known forgeries – meets the Bank of England’s gold standard
The FC300 is a compact, high-performance two-pocket friction banknote checker and counter machine. The second pocket allows operators to perform multiple cash processing activities at high speed and with minimum interruptions. This advanced unit can count bundles of multiple denominations at speeds of up to 1,500 notes per minute. What’s more, it can display accurate count data, broken down by both value and denomination.
The FC300 cash counting machine can recognise up to five different currencies (GBP, EUR, NIRL, SCO, USD) and also acts as a bank note checker with its enhanced counterfeit detection. The FC300 friction note counter is a future-proof machine, capable of handling polymer notes and can be updated easily via software updates.
Also available in Volumatic’s friction note counters range is the FC75.
Forgery Detection passed by the Bank of England
The FC300 note checker and forgery detector is a ‘Gold Standard’ counterfeit detector, meaning it has passed the Bank of England’s framework test for banknote machines and forgery detectors, which means it will reject all known forgeries currently in circulation.
It can also be used to support the Local Recycling Code of Conduct for
users wishing to self-fill ATMs and self-checkouts.
