A dynamic coded mechanical metering system includes a barcode odometer having barcode indicia formed on counting wheels thereof. The barcode odometer is installed on a counting or measuring device and is engaged therewith to indicate a count or measurement in a dynamic barcode representation. The odometer is read using a conventional barcode scanner unit which stores the scanned data for subsequent uploading to a computer through a communications interface for accounting purposes. A method according to the present invention employs the apparatus described above for reading utility meters.
