A mailer and display device for shipping and displaying coins or tokens includes a first panel having a front face, a back face, and one or more pockets extending inward from the front face that is sized and shaped to closely receive a coin or token. The device also includes a second panel foldably coupled to an upper edge of the first panel and a third panel foldably coupled to a lower edge of the first panel. The device is positionable into a first mailer configuration with the second and third panels folded over the first panel to form a substantially rectangular shape for shipping, and into a second display configuration with the second and third panels folded behind the first panel to form a hollow triangular shape for display, with the third panel forming a base and the front face of the first panel facing upwardly and outwardly.

A chip tray system can include multiple chip tube components. A first chip tube component in the chip tray can include one or more gaming chip storage rows corresponding to a first size of gaming chip. A second chip tube component in the chip tray can include one or more gaming chip storage rows corresponding to a second size of gaming chip. An edge of the first chip tube component can be coupled to an edge of the second chip tube component.

A money handling method to be executed by a money handling machine including a body and an extension unit. The method includes: instructing the extension unit to replenish the body with money with a specified denomination; replenishing the body from the extension unit in accordance with the instruction; recognizing a denomination of each of the money sent from the extension unit; storing the money in a first storage unit associated with a first denomination in a first case where the denomination recognized is the first denomination identical to the specified denomination; storing money in a second storage unit in a second case where the denomination recognized is a second denomination different from the specified denomination; and continuing the replenishment with the money using the extension unit as instructed in both the first case and the second case.

The presented invention is a reusable multi-chamber coin container with means for storage and transport of coin-based currency or coin-shaped objects and is comprised of two symmetrical interchangeable halves which, when assembled with two halves in an opposing orientation, contain a plurality of chambers to accommodate multiple stacks of coins or stacks of coin-shaped objects. When assembled, the multi-chamber coin container allows for ease of storage of coin-based currency or coin-shaped items and is reusable.

A coin bin. The coin bin has a body defining a chamber to receive coins, the body further defining a receiving area to releasably receive part of a steering handle and being formed of a structurally strong plastic; a lid to close the chamber, the lid being lockable and removable when unlocked; and a plurality of wheels affixed to the body to support the body. The coin bin is suitable for positioning inside an automatic teller machine (ATM).

A machine for filling cash boxes insertable into and extractable from the machine, including internally a portion for housing storage containers containing a cash reserve intended to fill the cash boxes, laterally to said inner storage containers a device for receiving and moving a cash box is arranged, the device for receiving and moving the cash box being equipped with at least means for vertical movement of the cash box between a raised position, adapted for inserting and extracting it into and from the machine, and a lowered position, at a lower height with respect to that of the inner storage containers present in the machine, the device also being equipped with means for horizontal movement of the cash box between the lowered position and a position distanced from it, arranged under the inner storage containers present in the machine.

A method for determining the fill level of at least one coin tube comprises capturing at least one spatially resolved image of an upper side of the at least one coin tube using a spatially resolving optical sensor disposed at a defined distance above the at least one coin tube. Transmitting the at least one spatially resolved image to an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the at least one spatially resolved image using image processing to determine a fill level of the at least one coin tube.

A reach-extending exchange device for transferring articles between a teller and a customer includes a shell. The shell comprises an annular wall that extends between a top and a bottom. An aperture that is positioned in the top of the shell is configured to selectively position at least one article in the shell. A panel that is complementary to the aperture is slidably coupled to the top of the shell. A rod, which is elongated, is coupled to and extends from the shell. The panel is positioned to slide relative to the top to selectively close the aperture to retain the at least one article in the interior space. The rod is configured to be grasped in a hand of the teller to position the shell distal from the teller so that the customer can selectively position the at least one article in the shell.

A coin change machine includes a reception counting unit to count types and the numbers of received coins, a storage state calculating unit to accumulate a counting result of the reception counting unit to thereby calculate types and the numbers of stored coins, a dispensing counting unit to count types and the numbers of dispensed or collected coins and an illumination control unit to turn on LEDs, which illuminate the inside of a storing unit, on condition that a lid covering the storing unit for coins is opened, if the types and the numbers of the coins calculated by the storage state calculating unit and the types and the numbers of the coins counted by the dispensing counting unit if the coins are collected or instructed dispensing content and the types and the number of the coins counted by the dispensing counting unit, are inconsistent.

A coin input to a deposit opening is determined a denomination by a coin identifying device, and is allocated and held in a denomination storing and dispensing device in a course of being transported to a coin transporting and distributing device. The coin of a specified denomination is sent from the denomination storing and dispensing device based on a pay-out command, and paid out to a pay-out opening by a pay out transporting device. When the holding amount of the denomination storing and dispensing device becomes full, the coin is not allocated to the denomination storing and dispensing device by the coin transporting and distributing device, but is dropped to an overflow coin slot, guided to an overflow coin guiding tube juxtaposed to the denomination storing and dispensing device and held in an overflow coin storing unit arranged on the lower side of the denomination storing and dispensing device.
