Back To Resources

In today’s fast-paced retail, kiosk, and transit environments, efficiency and reliability in cash handling are non-negotiable. While there are plenty of coin recyclers on the market — many of them inexpensive and widely available — not all are created equal. The CCR (Compact Coin Recycler) from CPI sets a new benchmark by delivering superior performance, lower total cost of ownership, and unmatched operational efficiency.

🔍 Compact Design, Full-Scale Performance

The CCR is engineered to be 50% smaller than CPI’s previous-generation CR6000, yet it maintains a 3,000-coin capacity. This compact footprint is ideal for space-constrained environments, but unlike similarly sized competitors — such as ITL’s coin recycler, which holds only 1,500 coins — the CCR delivers twice the capacity without increasing the size.

This means fewer refills, less downtime, and more throughput — all in a smaller, more efficient package.


🔄 One SKU, Global Flexibility

One of the CCR’s most powerful advantages is its universal coin acceptance. A single SKU can be programmed to accept any coin in the world, eliminating the need for multiple part numbers across different markets. This simplifies inventory management, reduces warehousing and shipping costs, and streamlines forecasting for OEMs and integrators.

With fewer SKUs to manage, businesses benefit from lower capital investment, faster deployment, and reduced operational complexity.


⚙️ Engineered for Real-World Reliability

Where many low-cost alternatives fall short is in day-to-day reliability. The CCR is built to minimize service interruptions and maximize uptime through:

  • Debris-resistant and debris-managing design that prevents jams and keeps the machine running even when foreign material enters the system.
  • Simplified internal architecture with fewer friction points and no separate hoppers, reducing the likelihood of mechanical failure.
  • Smart diagnostics and illuminated guidance that make it easy for staff to identify and resolve issues quickly.

These features translate into fewer interventions, less training, and more consistent performance — even in demanding environments.


🛠️ Lower Total Cost of Ownership

While cheaper machines may save money upfront, they often cost more in the long run due to frequent service calls, downtime, and labor-intensive maintenance. The CCR is designed to reduce those hidden costs:

  • 50% fewer service calls compared to leading competitors.
  • Estimated $100 savings per unit per year in service-related expenses alone.
  • Reduced labor costs thanks to fewer refills and faster issue resolution.

The result is a coin recycler that delivers real ROI — not just in performance, but in long-term operational savings.


 Proven Performance

The CCR has passed Deutsche Bundesbank certification for counterfeit detection, validating the quality of its sensors and fraud prevention capabilities. This certification underscores CPI’s commitment to delivering secure, high-performance solutions that meet the highest industry standards.


💡 The Smarter Choice

When it comes to coin recycling, settling for a low-cost alternative often means sacrificing reliability, efficiency, and long-term value. The CCR offers a smarter path forward — one that combines compact design, global flexibility, and industrial-grade performance in a single, future-ready solution.
