A coin processing device includes a coin identification mechanism, a coin distribution mechanism, a plurality of coin tubes, and a coin delivery mechanism that delivers coins housed in the coin tubes by delivering operation of pulling out the coins using a payout slide. For a specific denomination, a two-coin delivering coin tube and one-coin delivering coin tubes are provided. Location information configured of variables indicating records of payment, distribution, and delivery is used to determine the coin tube when the coin distribution mechanism distributes coins of the specific denomination and to determine the coin tube when the coin delivery mechanism delivers the coins of the specific denomination. The coin processing device can increase speed in a process of delivering coins.

Chip sorting devices may include at least one chip collection tube having at least one adjustable wall that at least partially defines an inner diameter of the at least one chip collection tube. The at least one adjustable wall may be at least partially rotatable to define different inner diameters. Chip sorting devices may include a chip hopper having a relief mechanism for clearing chips that become jammed between a chip chamber and a base plate of the chip hopper. Methods of sorting chips may include actuating the relief mechanism to increase a space between a top plate of the relief mechanism and the chip chamber. Methods of setting up a chip sorting device may include adjusting an inner lateral dimension of the at least one chip collection tube.

A money handling apparatus performs a money dispensing process, the money handling apparatus including a storage cassette, a plurality of storage units and processing circuitry. The storage cassette is detachably mounted to the money handling apparatus, and the storage cassette to store money for a replenishment process. The plurality of storage units store money. The processing circuitry is configured to receive a designation of a processing time of the replenishment process, and control the replenishment process based on the processing time so that a storage unit of the plurality of storage units is replenished with money fed out from the storage cassette.

Various embodiments of systems and methods for direct depositing funds (e.g., consumer coin value, paper cash value, etc.) into an account at a bank or other financial institution are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the systems and methods described herein enable a consumer to pour a batch of loose coins into a coin counting kiosk and have the coin value deposited directly into one of the consumer's accounts at a financial institution (e.g., a debit card account, credit card account, savings account, checking account, etc.) by swiping their bank card through (or inserting their bank card into) a card reader at the kiosk and selecting the desired transaction.
