Description
When your business processes significant volumes of international currency — not occasionally, but as a core daily function — the machine you use needs to meet a different standard. The H-890 is the professional-tier multi-currency note counter for Australian businesses where foreign note processing is regular, high-volume, and accuracy-critical.
Like the H-880, the H-890 supports up to 60 currencies with full 4-method detection and 100% ECB certification. Its enhanced specification profile is designed for environments where the machine runs continuously across multiple currency types, where the cost of an undetected counterfeit is significant, and where per-note serial number logging is a compliance requirement rather than a convenience.
Who Is the H-890 For?
- Currency exchange operations: Processing large volumes of multiple currencies with ECB-certified accuracy and per-note audit trails
- International hotel concierge desks: Currency conversion for guests requiring authenticated, logged transactions
- Duty-free and airport retail: High-speed, high-accuracy multi-currency counting with error detection on all currency types
- Businesses with ECB compliance or audit requirements: The 100% ECB pass rate satisfies international verification standards
Key Features Explained
Full 4-Method Detection Across 60 Currencies
Authentication across 60 currencies using image (CIS) processing, magnetic ink detection, infrared analysis, and ultraviolet verification — simultaneously, on every note. The H-890 does not apply reduced detection to less common currencies: every note receives the same authentication depth regardless of denomination or origin.
Real-Time OCR Serial Number Reading and Export
Serial numbers are read from every note in real time during processing and stored in a queryable log. Data is exportable via USB and SD card. For operations where transaction-level records are required — currency exchange compliance, high-value international transactions, or internal audit requirements — the H-890’s serial number logging provides the documentation trail needed.
Large TFT Touch Panel
The H-890’s touch panel interface is designed for environments where staff switch between currency modes frequently. Currency selection, count mode, and batch settings are all accessible from the main screen without navigating complex menus — reducing operator error and training time in busy, multi-currency environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
| What is the difference between the H-880 and H-890?
Both machines share the same 60-currency 4-method detection and ECB certification. The H-890 is the premium specification model suited to higher-volume continuous international currency processing — currency exchange kiosks, airport retail, and operations where the machine runs for extended periods across multiple currency types. For lower-volume multi-currency environments, the H-880 provides the same detection capability at a more accessible price point. |
| Is the H-890 suitable for AUD as well as foreign currencies?
Yes. AUD is among the 60 supported currencies, with detection parameters calibrated specifically for Australian polymer notes. The H-890 handles AUD and international currencies together in mixed loads, identifying and authenticating each denomination automatically. |
| Can the H-890 export count and serial number data?
Yes. Count data and serial number logs are exportable via USB or SD card. RS-232 output is also available for integration with point-of-sale or accounting systems. Contact Cashcom on 0451 353 676 to discuss integration requirements. |
