FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:    How does it work?
A:    A motor turns a shaft.  The shaft is connected to the Penny Wheel. (The Penny Wheel is the white wheel with
        the 8 penny holes in it) The penny wheel goes round and round clockwise.  The feeder plank holds 100 coins
        and feeds the pennies into the penny holes.  The first hole the penny passes over has a balance mechanism
        and a trap door.  If the penny is copper, it is heavier than zinc and the penny falls through the trap door.
        All the zinc pennies are lighter than copper fall through the second hole.

Q:    What is the longevity of this machine?  Will it ever need serviced/calibrated if so will I need to send it back or can I do it?
A:    It is a hands on machine that needs calibration and adjustments. There is a learning curve.   It's built to last and It's
      adjustments do compensate for wear.  It is a simple machine an owner with a little mechanical knowledge can
      understand and service. Of course you can always send it in for service. The Penny Miser is better than 99% accurate when adjusted
      properly.  Jamming at the feeder and also at the Penny Hole can be almost completely eliminated with some patients,
      observation,  thought, and adjustments.  It's designed to separate all zinc pennies from all copper pennies regardless
      of weather the copper pennies are Memorial, Wheats or Indians.
 

Q:    How long does it take to ship?
A:    The Penny Miser's are hand made and take some time to manufacture so it may take as long as a month before
        I can ship your Penny Miser. 

Q:    What method do you use to ship?
A:    I ship via United States Postal Service.  You can choose either (PARCEL POST/standard domestic) or PRIORITY

Q:    Do the Misers all look identical to the pictures?
A:    They all look similar.  They are hand made so each Penny Miser is unique.  
        I also use different types of wood depending on what is available. 

Q:    What kind of warranty does the unit carry?
A:    I give a full 14 day Satisfaction Guarantee.  That's a full refund less shipping charges.  
       The unit also carries a 90 day Parts & Service Warranty for manufacturing defects.
  

Q:    Where do the separated pennies go?
A:    The DELUXE model, has two collection boxes inside the unit to collect the pennies.
        Each collection box has an end flap that can be opened and used to re-direct the pennies out
        the back of the machine and over the edge of a table into larger containers. 
        The BASIC model is open and paper cups or small cardboard boxes can be used to collect the coins.
        The coins can easily be re-directed over the edge of a table into larger containers.
