How to Install a Bill-to-Coin Change Machine in a Claw Machine Shop

In high-frequency cash transaction environments like claw machine shops, improving operational efficiency, reducing floor congestion, and enhancing customer satisfaction are key to increasing turnover and brand experience. A Bill-to-Coin Change Machine acts as a vital bridge between cash and game tokens, providing a seamless self-service payment experience while significantly optimizing on-site cash flow and management.

Why Claw Machine Shops Need Bill Changers

A bill-to-coin machine is an automated, self-service terminal. Players simply insert banknotes to receive equivalent coins or game tokens, eliminating the need for manual change-making or staff intervention at a service counter.

✅ Improve service efficiency and customer satisfaction

✅ Reduce the burden of manual cash handling

✅ Increase revenue and on-site conversion rates

Pre-Installation: Selection and Site Considerations

1. Site Measurement and Positioning

Perform on-site measurements and compare them with the shop's floor plan. Ensure that the machine's footprint does not obstruct customer walkways or emergency exits.

2. Fixed Installation Support Structures

Floor-standing installation;

Wall-mounted installation;

Integrated placement with counters or directional signage.

Ensure the device is level, stable, and securely fastened to prevent tipping. Route power cables safely to avoid tripping hazards.

3. Power and Network Configuration

Most change machines require a standard AC power supply (e.g., 220V). Depending on the model, you may also need to configure a network connection (Wi-Fi or LAN) for remote monitoring and data transmission.

4. Equipment Debugging and Testing

Perform a test run with no banknotes inserted.

Test with various common banknotes;

Record the test results and confirm that the machine accurately counts and dispenses banknotes correctly.
