1CIS vs. 2CIS: What Is the Difference?

CIS stands for Contact Image Sensor. This technology captures banknote images to support denomination recognition and authenticity checks.

1CIS: The MV-300 and MV-400 use a single CIS sensor. They are practical choices for mixed-denomination value counting where the available currency support and everyday functions match your business requirements.

2CIS: The MV-500, MV-550 and MV-600 scan both sides of each banknote. Dual-sided banknote scanning provides more image information for supported recognition and verification functions. These three models also support serial number recognition for compatible banknotes.

Choosing a Machine by Business Need

• Small shops, cafés and restaurants: The MV-300 offers accessible everyday cash counting.
• Busy retail and hospitality operations: The MV-400 adds convenient vertical banknote feeding and touchscreen operation.
• Exchange offices and high-volume cash desks: The MV-500 combines professional value counting, 2CIS scanning and serial number recognition.
• Casino cash desks, hotels and supermarket back offices: The MV-550 adds a large touchscreen to professional 2CIS recognition.
• Counting rooms and businesses that need automatic banknote sorting: The MV-600 features two output pockets and advanced sorting functions.

Supported Currencies and CNT Mode

All five models support mixed-denomination value counting for compatible currencies, including EUR, USD and GBP. For these supported currencies, the machine recognizes different denominations and calculates the total monetary value of a mixed stack. Other supported currencies and functions vary by model and firmware version, so please refer to the individual product page for the most up-to-date currency list.

Need to count a different currency? In CNT (piece-counting) mode, Jubula money counters can count banknotes from any currency worldwide. In this mode, the machine counts the number of banknotes only; it does not identify their denominations or calculate their total monetary value.

Banknote Authentication: ECB and Bank of England Testing

All five Jubula models in this comparison have successfully passed applicable banknote authentication tests under the testing procedures of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England.

For model-specific test information and supported banknote series, please consult the relevant testing documentation and the individual Jubula product pages.

Reliable Banknote Feeding and Support

Correct banknote preparation and feeding are important for consistent operation. Before inserting a stack, make sure it contains no foreign objects, such as coins, rubber bands, receipts, paper clips or other items. Foreign objects can become trapped inside a machine and are a common cause of feeding problems and subsequent banknote jams.

If you encounter a banknote jam or another feeding issue, stop using the machine and contact Jubula support immediately. Please do not try to adjust internal settings, turn adjustment wheels or disassemble the machine before speaking with our support team. We can promptly guide you through the appropriate troubleshooting steps for your model.
