Mytabung: an automatic counting machine for money

Saving money is a wise thing to do in life. Children have been taught to save money and give 'sadaqah' till it comes naturally to them from an early age. Normally people will keep their cash in a variety of sized and shaped money boxes. The market has a wide variety of money boxes, some people even make their own money box from recycled materials and as it fills up, the money inside must be counted before depositing in the bank. Most people have struggled with money counting, especially when handling big sums of cash. Currently man must count the money manually and it is time-consuming, tedious and higher tendency of error due to many reasons. Money counting machines do exist, but exclusively used in banks, and only count the number of notes, not the total amount of money. To address this issue, alternative money- counting methods can appear to be crucial because accurate money-counting is able to provide quantitative output and time saving. This will be the main purpose of this innovation. This innovation consists of Arduino Uno and various components such as colour sensor, servo motors, RFID and LCD display. A colour sensor is used to develop the automated gadget known as MyTabung, which counts the total amount after determining the colour of the notes and displays it on the LCD screen. MyTabung uses RFID technology to provide high levels of security, and only authorised users are allowed to access. The management of the mosque, individuals, and those in charged for financial management are believed to profit from MyTabung's distinctive qualities. MyTabung able to save time and money while increasing accuracy and security. It provides faster processing time, higher accuracy, reduced labour costs and potential theft. Therefore, allowing more efficient and precise information acquisition
