CurNncy counter
Technitrol Financial Products
introduces a new high speed cur-
rency counter that is compact and
portable.
The Techni-Count 100 counts and
batches both U .S. and foreign
money. Speed is 1,200 documents
per minute of new o r worn, "as is,"
or mixed quality. Batch sizes of 10,
25 , 50, or 100 can be pre-selected.
The unit also detects "doubles" and
will stop automatically.
The Techni-Count 100 has two
optional features-counterfeit bill
detection (unit stops automatically)
and computer systems interface
(RS -23 2 connection ). The latter fea-
tures allows the Techni-Count 100
to be incorporated into a larger
system for application such as cash
settlement.

Video billboard
A new option, the Video Bill-
board, was introduced by Merit
Industries, Inc. fo r its line of video
card games.
The Video Billboard offers 15
different on-location custom pro-
grammable screens which can be
used to promote specials, announce
upcoming events, and sell adver-
tising to area businesses. A single
detachable keyboard unit that pro-
grams the screens can service an
operatOr's entire route, company
officials said.
The Video Billboard features 15
screens interspersed throughout the
game's idle display mode, up to six
16-character message lines, and two
selectable sizes of characters. Each
message can be individually pro-
grammed with choice of color and
even flashing, if desired.
Product planners at Merit de-
signed the Video Billboard around a
keyboard unit already in use in the
field. "Our research showed that
many operators had purchased a
similar keyboard for use with earlier
games," said Tom Nicholas, Merit's
chief engineer. "We developed a
great package for advertising that
will generate extra income while
enabling operators to recoup some
of their investment in obsolete
games."
"OperatOrs can use a few of the
Video Billboard screens to promote
game play and the location," said
Mort Ansky , vice president of
Merit's sales, "and then sell display
advertising to other local merchants
and businesses."
