Why do bill acceptor prices vary so widely?
Although bill acceptors look similar and perform the same basic job, they can have widely different functionality, which directly impacts their overall performance in the field. Plus, there are a host of optional features to choose from according to specific needs and applications. For example, cashbox and cassette capacities vary from 170 to 1200 bills. They can be up- or down-stacking. They can be made of different materials, and can have built-in features that make them easier to remove and swap or make them more resistant to burglary and tampering. A bill acceptor can have a standard bezel or an ergonomically designed bezel that adjusts to accept different-width bills such as international currency or custom-designed coupons. Bill acceptors can also be upgradeable and include diagnostic capabilities.
