A Mumbai-based online retailer Shop Online India has come out with arguably India’s first portable currency counter.
Many of us (grown-up) Indians have the toddler-like habit of licking the tips of our thumbs and making a sticky sound of it while counting wads of currency notes. Well, if you want to add a touch of grace to the practice of salivating on your riches, there is way out of the saliva for you. You can replicate the contraption called currency note counter (which you find at the cashier’s cubicle in any bank), into something you can carry around. Mumbai-based online retailer Shop Online India has come out with arguably India’s first portable currency counter. The automatic electronic money counting machine is priced at Rs 3,800 apiece and comes with a one-year warranty and counts up to 100 currency notes in five seconds. Among other things, it has a digital LED display and can run on batteries as well as an adapter. To boot, it weighs only 450 gm with batteries. And you can put in 999 notes at a time. That’s what you call a non-stick currency counter.
