How Does a UGears Cash Register Works?

The UGears Cash Register has two separate drawers to keep coins and bills, with separate slots for each. The coin slot can fit coins between 10 and 35 mm and is equipped with automatic coin and bill receptors. You just need to lift and lower the special lever to insert coins.

Putting bills in the cash register, on the other hand, is a lot easier. They are pulled in just as they would be in a real ATM machine. To activate the bill receptor, you need to wind up the rubber-band mechanism first by moving the lever up and down ten times for a full-setting. After doing this, the cash register will be able to pull in at least 3 to 4 notes.

You might also be wondering how you can ensure that your money is safe, especially if you’ll be displaying it in your home. To make sure your savings are safe in the cash register, you need to use a code to lock it. Whenever you need to get some coins or bills, just turn the key to pull out the drawers.
