MEI enables kiosks to accept new Canadian $10 note

March 24, 2005

WEST CHESTER, Pa. - According to a news release, MEI has announced plans to seamlessly transition retail customers to accept the soon-to-be-released Canadian $10 bill in kiosks, self-service checkouts, and other self-serve retail systems. The Bank of Canada will begin releasing the new $10 note in May of 2005. MEI will offer customers several options to upgrade their bill acceptors in the field so that they will recognize and accept the new $10 immediately upon release. Upgrade and pricing options differ according to the bill acceptor model. Systems with either an MEI CASHFLOWT SC or a Series 2000 (AE2800) bill acceptor can be upgraded by remote flash download through the interface or by using an MEI service tool.
