Who only knows how much this cost to get/operate...but the Smithsonian is digitizing their historic currency collection, and it is basically a digitization conveyor belt. Here's a Vine: https://vine.co/v/OhhxK615gt6 And a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou0Xet2kpqA#t=11
As someone whose first museum job was photographing the collection with a digital scanning back that took 4 or 5 minutes per fussy exposure...this looks like heaven.

They will be bringing out a DIY $10K scanner this year which looks like a great option for cheapish, high volume scanning.
