Circuitry acquires, when predetermined money handling is executed, stored money information including specific information of money stored in a storage before execution of the money handling and money transfer information including specific information of money transferred in execution of the money handling, determines, based on the stored money information and the money transfer information, a presence or absence of an occurrence of an abnormality related to money in the money handling apparatus and generates, in a case that it is determined that there is the presence of the occurrence of the abnormality, fraud data related to the occurrence of the abnormality.

A cassette for receiving and dispensing bills is disclosed. The cassette includes a sensor structured to detect a location of the cassette, and memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to transmit the location of the cassette to a remote computing device, determine that the location of the cassette has changed, and generate an indication that the location of the cassette has changed.

Apparatus and methods relating to a counter recycling device are described. The counter recycling device may contain a receiving pocket, a counter mechanism, an escrow section, and an escrow door. The receiving pocket is configured to accept currency and is connected to the counter mechanism. The counter mechanism may be configured to count the currency inserted into the receiving pocket. The counter recycling device may also include an escrow section, which may be configured to collect and hold the currency in a secure area. Additionally, the counter recycling device may include an escrow door configured to enclose the escrow section on a face of the counter recycling device, the escrow door being transparent and allowing currency within the escrow section to be viewable when the escrow door is in a closed position.

In order to improve efficiency of an operation of a cash handling system and reduce the labor required for the operation, a POS register receives an input of a cash-out amount, and an input of a charge amount. The POS register reads a debit card ID from a debit card, and transmits a settlement request including the debit card ID and a settlement amount to a management server. Upon receiving the settlement request, the management server withdraws the settlement amount from an account, and transmits a settlement permission to the POS register. Upon receiving the settlement permission from the management server, the POS register performs charge of electronic money, and transmits a dispensing instruction for the cash-out amount to a change machine. The change machine receives the dispensing instruction and dispenses cash.

An automated till register system that includes at least one processor, at least one Point of Sale (POS) system and interface, two cash recycler machines and one coin recycler machine arranged in a twin opposite configuration, the cash recycler machines oriented on opposite sides of one another, one on a cashier side and one on a customer side with a coin recycler located in the middle of the system between both cash recyclers. The system being networkable and having memory to perform executable instructions involving both cash and cashless transactions over a POS network thereby eliminating the need for a cash drawer and minimizing the handling of cash at every phase of the transactional process. Methods of use are implemented to eliminate cash drawer systems and minimize cash handling at all steps of the transactional process.

A currency deposit processor transfers currencies set in a deposit part one by one, discriminates the currencies by denominations, stores the currencies in denominations in a storage part without temporarily holding the currencies, and confirms the deposited currencies for each transaction. A control unit is provided that, when one storage part reaches its maximum capacity with both currencies confirmed up to a previous deposit transaction and currencies unconfirmed in a current deposit transaction and a failure occurs after the filling-up currencies are removed, performs a special control, in which data on the currencies unconfirmed in the current deposit transaction and included in the filling-up currencies is calculated as a partial confirmation, and the data on the currencies calculated as the partial confirmation is added and reflected at a time of another deposit transaction after a fault recovery process.

Provided is a money processing system realizing easy movement of money between a plurality of money handling apparatuses. A money processing system including a plurality of money handling apparatuses further includes a management apparatus configured to detect a money handling apparatus that requires movement of money, and select, from among the plurality of money handling apparatuses, one or a plurality of money handling apparatuses to move the money between the detected money handling apparatus and the selected one or the plurality of handling apparatuses.

Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for remotely monitoring cash reserves within a plurality of cash handling devices, and for automatically initiating change orders to maintain optimal levels of cash reserves within those cash handling devices. Certain embodiments remotely monitor closing transaction data received from those cash handling devices. Based at least in part on portions of data reflected within the closing transaction data, retrieve historical usage data relating to a forecast period; generate a usage forecast for the forecast period, and based on the generated usage forecast and the closing transaction data, generate message data for transmission to external systems to facilitate the maintenance of optimal cash reserves within those cash handling devices.
