Over thirty years ago, Bill Davis, a highly successful mechanical engineer, purchased and operated a car wash in Salt Lake City, Utah. It didn't take Bill long to tire of counting and rolling all of those quarters, so he did what inventers do best, he invented a device to make the task much easier. The coin counter worked wonderfully, so he decided to make it available to others with the same problem (boredom from counting quarters). Now this little device was smaller, lighter and lower cost than anything else on the market. What's more, it was very reliable and worked without fail in the harsh environment of a car wash with all of those wet and muddy quarters. Soon, hundreds of car wash owners, as well as Laundromat owners and anyone else who wanted to count quarters, purchased these devices and fell in love with them. After lots of years, too many orders caused Bill a bit of heartburn, since he was semi-retired and wanted more time for all of those fun things that beckon retired persons. For the past few years, he has limited his orders and finally decided not to make any more coin counters--they were simply getting in the way of all of his other enjoyable hobbies. That is where I came in. I'm a neighbor of Bill's, and have watched and admired his good work for years. When I heard that he had discontinued production of the coin counters, I begged him to let me continue their production. He finally said yes and has let me take over the business. He trained me in the fine art of coin counter production. Now I have over 5 years of experience under my belt. I am offering the exact same device with the exact same name, DaTec. That way, parts are interchangeable and I am able to service and maintain all of those older machines. Speaking of older, there is one problem that I have discovered with Bill's quarter counters, and that has to do with their reliability. You see, they last a little too long-for me! How can I expect to sell replacements when people are still getting good use out of the one they bought 20 years ago? However, I'm not going to change a thing. You can still buy these counters and expect them to work for many, many years. Thank You for your interest, Richard Moon
