In several markets, coin returns rise at the same time new banknotes are issued. Financial institutions find that sharing one packaging line for notes and coins creates bottlenecks in peak hours. A clearer approach is to split 1,000-note strapping, 100-note banding, and coin packing into three lines.
Note lines focus on speed and seal quality; coin lines focus on count accuracy and hopper capacity. Both need clear batch labels to connect with vault and cash-in-transit processes.
After the redesign, many branches and cash centers automate banknote handling first, then add coin counting and packing.
