What is EPR?

Please explain the meaning of 'EPR' in the Currency-counting machine#Invention section. The EPR page doesn't seem to have appropriate expansion of this TLA. --CiaPan (talk) 10:28, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This text is no longer in the article. -- Beland (talk) 23:01, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Beland: The fact (removed on 10 March 2021 in Special:Diff/1011328782) seems mentioned e.g. in Introduction section to

Osama Saadi, Ergun Ercelebi (May 2018). "Development Of Money Counting Machine by ARM Based Microcontroller" (PDF). International Journal of Electrical, Electronics and Data Communication. 6 (5).

with further reference to

[1] Sharma S., Tonde A. and Shinde R., “Note Counting Machine”, Slideshare, 2014.

but without the EPR acronym. I found the paper with Goggle query "Zhi Tian Sie" counting machine.

1889 coin counter?

This image is categorised under "Currency-counting machines" on Commons, and described as a Lohnauszahlungsmaschine ("wage payment machine"?) on Wikidata.

Is it a currency counting machine, pre-dating the 1950s examples given in this article? Belbury (talk) 17:22, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Belbury: As far as I understand it, counting machine is loaded with a bunch of coins and answers how many coins there were. (May also be integrated with a sorter, so that it answers how many coins of different denominations there are.) The one depicted looks like it used to be loaded with coins of different denomination in rails on top, then manually set how many coins of each denomination are required (with levers at the front), and finally release that many coins when triggered (possibly with the pedal below). That would fit a translated description as a 'wage payment' machine. So it's quite a different kind of device, although it also 'counts', to some extent. ---CiaPan (talk) 09:37, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
