Amid the excitement of launching CPI’s newest innovation, we sat down with Sebastien Terrasson, the Product Manager behind the CCR (Compact Coin Recycler), to talk about what makes this product so revolutionary — and why it’s already turning heads in retail, kiosk, and transit environments.
“We didn’t just shrink the machine — we reimagined it,” Sebastien says with a smile. “The CCR is smaller, smarter, and more reliable than anything else in its class.”
🔍 Compact Without Compromise
The CCR is 50% smaller than CPI’s previous-generation CR6000, yet it holds the same 3,000-coin capacity. That’s a major leap forward in design — especially when compared to competitors like ITL, which offer similar size but only half the capacity.
“We’ve packed more technology into a smaller footprint without sacrificing capacity,” Sebastien explains. “That’s a huge win for customers who need performance but have limited space.”
🔄 One SKU, Global Simplicity
One of the most exciting features of the CCR is its universal coin acceptance. A single SKU can be programmed to accept any coin in the world, a major advantage for OEMs and global integrators.
“It’s a game-changer,” Sebastien says. “One part number means less complexity, lower inventory costs, and faster time to market. It simplifies everything from forecasting to manufacturing.”
⚙️ Built for Real-World Efficiency
The CCR isn’t just compact — it’s engineered for uptime. With 50% fewer refills than comparable models, debris-resistant design, and smart diagnostics with illuminated guidance, it’s built to keep operations running smoothly.
“We designed the CCR to reduce the number of interventions, with a highly engineered patented Anti-jam module detecting potential jams in advance before they happen” Sebastien notes. “Even if debris gets inside, the machine keeps running. That’s what we call debris management.”
🛠️ Lower Cost of Ownership
With fewer jams, fewer moving parts, and a simplified internal structure, the CCR requires 50% fewer service calls than its closest competitor generating recurrent interventions savings.
“Every service call avoided is money saved,” Sebastien emphasizes. “And when you multiply that across a fleet, the savings are substantial.”
✅ Certified to Perform
The CCR recently passed Deutsche Bundesbank certification for counterfeit detection — a strong endorsement of its sensor quality and fraud prevention capabilities.
“It’s a testament to the quality of our sensors and the reliability of our design,” Sebastien says. “We’re proud to meet such a high standard.”
💡 A Smarter Investment
Whether you're managing a fleet of kiosks, a retail chain, or a transit system, the CCR delivers more value, more uptime, and less hassle than any low-cost alternative.
“This isn’t just a new product,” Sebastien concludes. “It’s a new standard for coin recycling.”
