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 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 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.

In one embodiment, a money reception device has a storage device, a reject device, and a control device. The reject device rejects money which has been judged not to be a normal coin, out of received coins. After the money has been rejected, when storage of the money to be received again in the storage device is permitted, the control device controls the reject device so that the money to be received again is not rejected.

Currency processing systems, coin processing machines, coin sorting and recycling assemblies, and methods of making and methods of using the same are presented herein. A currency processing system is disclosed which includes a housing with a coin input area for receiving coins and coin receptacles for stowing processed coins. A disk-type coin processing unit includes a rotatable disk for imparting motion to input coins, and a sorting head for separating and discharging coins from exit stations. An automated coin chute receives coins from one of the exit stations. The automated coin chute includes a movable diverter plate that selectively transitions between a first position, whereby coins received from the exit station of the disk-type coin processing unit are redirected through a coin-recycling output passage to a coin-recycling receptacle, and a second position, whereby coins received from the exit station are redirected through a coin-depositing output passage to a coin-depositing receptacle.

A device for holding coins, the device comprising a rectangular structure including: a first level, the first level capable of acting as a floor for any carried coins and including: eleven apertures including: a first penny size aperture, a second penny size aperture, a third penny size aperture, a fourth penny size aperture, a first dime size aperture, a second dime size aperture, a third dime size aperture, a fourth dime size aperture, a first nickel size aperture, a first quarter size aperture, and a second quarter size aperture arranged clockwise around the first level and spiraling inward in the order of, from a top left corner of the first level: the first dime size aperture, the first nickel size aperture, the second dime size aperture, the first penny size aperture, the first quarter size aperture, the third dime size aperture, the fourth dime size aperture, the second quarter size aperture, and the second penny size aperture, with the third penny size aperture located between the first dime size aperture and fourth dime size aperture and the fourth penny size aperture located between the second dime size aperture and third dime size aperture; and a second level, the second level including: two apertures, surrounded by the eleven apertures of the first level including: a fifth penny size aperture located between the first dime size aperture and fourth dime size aperture and a sixth penny size aperture located between the second dime size aperture and third dime size aperture; and a flange that partially overlaps one or more of the eleven apertures of the first level and forms at least part of the fifth penny size aperture and the sixth penny size aperture.

A coin handling apparatus includes the following: a cassette attachment unit where a cassette is detachably attached; a coin supply unit that supplies a coin to the cassette; and a control unit that causes the cassette attached to the cassette attachment unit to perform a first confirmation operation for confirming that a coin remains in the cassette when the cassette does not satisfy a predetermined condition, and operates the coin supply unit to supply a coin to the cassette attached to the cassette attachment unit without causing the cassette to perform the first confirmation operation when the cassette satisfies the predetermined condition.

A collection bag support structure of an embodiment includes a collection bag, a frame, a support portion, a pair of shafts, and a pair of rails. The frame keeps an opening of the collection bag in an open state. The support portion is provided inside a check-out apparatus, and supports the frame in a state in which the opening of the collection bag faces upward. The pair of shafts is provided in either one of the frame or the support portion, and serves as fulcrums of rotation in which one end portions of both side portions of the frame remain in the support portion and the other end portions move away from the support portion. The pair of rails is provided on the other one of the frame and the support portion, rotatably supports the shafts, and guides the shafts movably at least in a depth direction of the check-out apparatus.

In one embodiment, a money reception device has a storage device, a reject device, and a control device. The reject device rejects money which has been judged not to be a normal coin, out of received coins. After the money has been rejected, when storage of the money to be received again in the storage device is permitted, the control device controls the reject device so that the money to be received again is not rejected.

A coin processing apparatus including a coin identification unit, a coin sort unit, a plurality of coin tubes, a coin payment unit, an initial replenishment coin tube storing coins of a predetermined initial replenishment coin number in an initial replenishment state, an increase coin tube not storing the coins in the initial replenishment state, and an initial replenishment state setting unit causing an apparatus body to recognize the initial replenishment state. The coin sort unit sorts the coins of the initial replenishment coin number into the initial replenishment coin tube and sorts coins more than the coins corresponding to the initial replenishment coin number into the increase coin tube. The coin payment unit pays the coins preferentially from the increase coin tube.
