April 23, 2013

Cummins Allison, a provider of coin, check and currency handling solutions, has introduced a JetScan iFX i100 series desktop banknote solution for currency processing in Europe, Great Britain and Asia, following the product's Canadian launch just last month. The device now supports the British pound note, the Euro and the Turkish Lira in addition to U.S. and Canadian dollars.

The device boasts fast throughput at up to 1,200 notes per minute, as well as high levels of counterfeit detection and low note rejection rates, the company said in an announcement of the broader rollout. What's more, the JetScan iFX i100 series is the first desktop currency scanner to offer high-speed serial number capture and instant database storage, according to Cummins Allison.

"The JetScan iFX is an incredibly exciting new product to be introducing into the UK, Ireland, Europe and Asia," said Andy Crowson, U.K. managing director for Cummins Allison. "This new product is another milestone in our long tradition of developing game-changing technology." 

The JetScan iFX product line will continue to advance, Crowson said. "This is the first in a series of new product developments with a common platform that will allow for future product enhancements. This technology paves the way for a family of JetScan iFX products."
