MEI (mars) series VN 24XX and VN25XX bill acceptors manufactured after the 40th week of 1999 can be upgraded for the new currency. The first three digits of the serial number determine the week and year of manufacture. The first two are the week and the third digit is the year. IF THE FOURTH DIGIT OF THE SERIAL NUMBER IS AN “8” IT IS UPGRADEABLE. If not sure…. Call us!
All AE26XX and AE28XX are upgradeable
All series 3000 bill acceptors must be sent in for upgrading.
Software upgrades for the new currency can be done at either of our locations, or if you have multiple bill acceptors it may be wise to purchase or RENT a download box from us for onsite upgrading. Please call for details.
