Abstract: An improved unit counter, which includes a bottom tray having two adjoining upstanding sides secured thereto, provides an included angle of 60.degree. to define a first corner in which a plurality of generally rounded pills or the like may be nested in such a manner to form an equilateral triangle of pills. A third upstanding side is secured to the bottom and adjoins one of the first two sides to provide an included angle of 90.degree. defining a second corner in which a plurality of generally oblong capsules or the like may be nested. A fourth upstanding side is secured to the bottom and adjoins the third side and converges towards the first side but remains spaced apart to provide an opening through which the pills or capsules contained within the tray may be poured therefrom. A storage area is included to retain the surplus of pills or capsules over and above a desired amount counted.
