Helix Coin Tray and Note Holder (Pound Sterling)

I wanted a tray to fit in a kitchen drawer instead of having little pots for different coins. This not only holds all UK coins but counts them for you too in the stagard sections. I wasn't expecting it to be so well made and metal too! Thought it would be plastic. There are also 3 slots for notes which I use to hold clear plastic bank money bags. Fits in my drawer a treat too.

If you are in the retail business and handle small amounts of cash, this is an ideal tool. It copes with all denominations of British coins, with compartments for notes as well. It is made from sturdy metal, and each compartment is removable. Bags of coins are incredibly irritating and can also be inaccurate. This does away with bags - you can see at a glance exactly how much of each coin you have. The coins can be transferred between the till and the tray, which can be stored in the safe when not in use.

The product arrived within 3 days, well-packed and in perfect condition. It is a very useful tool as I receive and distribute hundreds of pounds of loose cash every month. One feature which I wasn't aware of is that each column is slightly staggered at 5-coin intervals making it easier to extract the coins and easier to count. One slightly disappointing feature is that it lies flat - I would have preferred it to sit at an angle to facilitate coin extraction but it is easy enough to prop it up with a book. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the product. KH

This item is just perfect for the job, which is to enable me to quickly count small change that is constantly being used . I have kept it in the outer box and don't take the small trays out . The notes tray is very useful for keeping notes and receipts tidy until they get put in the petty cash tin.

Ideal to use in the post office counters

Overall a good product, the tray inserts are easily removable and it is a good replacement for my other cash draw. I would recommend this product for small cash handling, for anything larger you might want to consider investing in another product. The coins are difficult to remove, and any slightly deformed/worn coins don't fit in as well due to the design, but this is expected. Plenty of room for an array of notes in all denominations, yet the new £5 note is smaller and difficult to retrieve out of the holder, especially when folded or crinkled. The only real fault is that the coin holders don't hold one bag, instead, they hold slightly less, this can become an issue when bagging them.

Simple, and does exactly what it says. I needed a way to count the coins in the piggy-bank and all the automated coin counters that I found advertised were either ten times the price of this model, or reviewed as being unreliable. This does the same job with only a little more effort (you have to place the coins in the tray, but that's no big deal). It is sturdy and there are no moving parts to go wrong.

Easy to use, sturdy coin and notes sections, but lacks a dust cover.
