In the years around 1949, the legal tender mostly circulating in the market were banknotes. Coins in small value, however, were gradually circulating in the market to replace banknotes of small value, and the Japan Mint began using the coin counter imported from overseas to count such coins. Since the imported coin counter was large in size and expensive, the Mint considered using the machine manufactured in Japan and asked Kokuei Machinery Manufacturing (now GLORY LTD.) to develop a low cost but high-quality machine. Eventually, Japan's first coin counter was released and installed in the Japan Mint in February 1950. The development of this machine triggered GLORY to move towards becoming a manufacturer of cash handling machines. The method of using centrifugal force to retract each individual coin is a superior technology, which is still adopted in our current coin counter.
We introduce the solution that realizes efficiency and accuracy of cash management from the cash register to the back office of retail stores overseas.
