Cheap scale for cocaine dealers. :D

[frollard]

@pritspriidik Generally cocaine dealers would have a lot more money, and hence would invest in a more precise/prestigious device. This is just handy for small measurements around the house...

...or as many people seem to put it...lots of coke.

I'm going to need larger pockets.

nice vid very descriptive thanks

Yeah thats true about the accuracy,

and the problem is the more decimal places the scale supports, the less max load it can take usually!

There was these coin holder tubes,

that had markings on them, on sale last here last chirstmas, so going to try to pick them up instead.

Real novelty item that ive wanted for quite a while!

[frollard]

Why apologize?!

sadly it doesn't have unit - you'd have to divide manually. That would be REALLY cool feature!

THAT said - counting change is hard because you need a high capacity, high accuracy scale. A lot of places I know that take rolled coins have a scale and just keep track of how much each roll should weigh.

Sorry for the 3rd post,

but i was wondering if this scale has a "count" function, or do you know of any others on dx with one?

What i would like to do is count coins,

basically weight one, hit a "unit/count" button,

and say when i put 10 coins on it, it should display 10 on the LCD.

I know i can simply divide the weight manually, but this function would be cool to have!

[djsmithy]

Thats very true! Forgot about that actaully.
