Abstract

Weighing apparatus for weighing currency notes or coins has a weighing platform (4) coupled to a load cell (14) for generating a weight signal dependent upon the weight of items on the platform. The weighing machine includes a microprocessor (26) with associated memory (32, 34) which determines the number and/or value of the weighed items by dividing the weight signal by an appropriate weight factor. When a number of standard packages of items are placed on the weighing platform (4), the apparatus automatically calculates an appropriate tare allowance to deduct from said weight signal to form a nett weight signal from which the number and/or value of the weighed items is determined. The tare allowance is calculated by dividing the weight signal by a preset value, for example, representative of the weight of a single package, and then multiplying the quotient formed by a preset tare value representative of the weight of the packaging.
