will there ever be a machine to sort marked bills and counterfeit money

[game boy]

its hard to do by hand and i have a reputation to uphold, i cant go around giving counterfeit and or marked money to my client but sorting them is tedious

[Arona]

the XXL money machine sorts out counterfeits, but for marked bills your SoL

[game boy]

does it spit them out on the side tray?
cause if not what the hell is it for

If you didn't have to check marked money EVER, then the gameplay loop would get even narrower. It's the only 'manual' thing you really have to do that requires some effort.

[game boy]

das a good point

Every machine except for the small one sorts out counterfeits. Counterfeits go out the side, legitimate but wrong bills (Yen/Euros when you're using the dollar, or 20s/100s if you're sorting by 50s) go out the front.

thats nice to know, thank you

There's a ton of manual stuff you still have to do even with all the filtering and machines. Adding a tedious task that doesn't reward you meaningfully isn't a game play loop worth accepting from anyone who values their time. What you've described is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ tactic that a lot of live service games use. This is a single player game.

Agreed, there is no harm in automating the process of serperating marked bills from unmarked. A machine that only seperates bills based on their mark and doesn't care about the currency type or denomination would be a godsend, and we would still have to organize them into stacks after as we see fit with the regular sorters, this is the best solution to this problem alongside making the workbench less silly to give us the feeling of being hands on without wasting tons of time.

Yep, we have plenty of other stuff we have to do like wash and dry and ferry the money around, feed the machines etc etc; what we don't need is a task that's excruciatingly slow, can only be done manually, and only during a few hours of night before the sunlight makes it impossible to see the red markings.

i propose, lest cut the pear in half, a device that tells you if there are marked bills in a given stack, reward of a quest so not on the market, you get three, one small that takes in 100 bills and take 10sec, and medium one takes 300(on full f grab i think) and take 20sec and big one that take 500(i think its how much you can put in the washing machine) and 30 sec, and it just tell you if there is or not a marked bill in the stack

They already have a detector in game, UV lights. You can see red marks even from the sides of stacks of bills. But again, this is not a real solution, because you still have to manually sort each 100 stack of bills, which is mind numbing and accident prone with the current tools (workbench) available. There's no real reason not to have some form of automated sorter, as an example, to not just be a time waster. We already have a sorter for counterfeit, so why is this being defended so hard?

[game boy]

no we just arguing on both side, an automated one could be cool, one that doesnt sort but just tell you if there are marked bill can suffice too

[RandyBobandy]

Why on Earth when I drop money in cardboard its nicely stacked but when put in sorting table of workbench its insanly disorganised... If notes were nicely stacked even cleaning wouldn't be as bad as it is now...

[[KOMB] EyeDentify]

How about this, let´s us be able to buy a sorting/counting machine that we could program our selfs to sort whatever we want, marked bills, counterfit, currency, denominations what have you.

And the manual fans could just not buy it and sort thiers manually, No need for us that want some effectiveness to suffer.

[game boy]

that is true, just make it an option would be cool but a do everything machine is kind of overboard, just adding a small, endgame, not fast could do the trick, but i still go back to my idea of a is there a marked bill in this stack machine, and while yes you could check manually by looking at the side of the stack, just adding it as an option could be good
