Human VS Machine: Who Counts Faster?
Picture yourself as a business owner at the end of a long day. The shop is closed, the staff has left, and you must complete the tedious job of counting the cash.
It is time-consuming, loaded with errors, and the last thing you want to do when you are exhausted. Wouldn’t it be great to have a faster, more accurate way to handle this workload?
Today, we pit a human cash-counting champion against a money counter machine from NuCoun to see who counts cash faster.
The Human Dynamo: Zhuo Minjing

The whispered name among cashiers and bank tellers, Zhuo Minjing, is a Chinese woman from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China who holds the Guinness World Record for counting banknotes.
On CGTV: Impossible Challenge 2019. Zhuo Minjing broke the world ex-record of 178 by counting 202 banknotes in just 30 seconds while blindfolded! Something most of us could only daydream of achieving.

Zhuo Minjing’s record was a testament to human capability. Yet, could she compete against our affordable cash counter machine?
Budget-Friendly Money Counter: NuCoun VC-7
The Banknote counter VC-7 is an affordable money counter machine with 1500 bills per minute! It is like the Usain Bolt of banknote sorters, which is the equivalent of 750 bills per 30 seconds—More than three times faster than Zhuo Minjing!
In the previous video, you can see that two candidates made mistakes in their counting, unlike the NC-5, which is 99.998% accurate, similar to the precision of a surgeon.
You can see the winner crystal clear: Machines. But wait, we even have a better competitor, a high-end money counter: The VS-75.
The Beast: Two Pockets Banknote Sorter VS-75
Not only does it count fast, with a speed of 1200 notes per minute, but meanwhile it can:
- Detect counterfeit notes faster than you can say “Benjamin Franklin” without interrupting the sorting process
- Sort them according to denomination, orientation, version, or face
- Record the serial number
- Multi-currency counting with auto-recognition
- Preloaded with 12 currencies, but expandable up to 120
- Hopper capacity of 600 notes and reject capacity of 100
With 600 bills per 30 seconds, it reigns three times faster than the world record of Zhuo Minjing.
From a different angle, Humans are also considered winners for creating such a beast via Man’s intelligence: discover more About Nucoun as humans. We should acknowledge that technology is here to save time in a world where time is money—literally.
The Verdict
While Zhuo Minjing’s skills are undeniably impressive, machines easily outperform even the fastest human counters.
Winner: Money Counter Machine.
Think about your own business. Whether you run a retail store, a restaurant, or any other company that deals with a lot of cash, end-of-day cash counting is necessary but tedious.
Counting cash by hand, even for someone as good as Zhuo Minjing, takes a while, and mistakes can happen. Machines like the VS-75 money counters solve these problems by being fast, accurate, and extra features.
And all of this while sipping electrons, not coffee.
