Abrégé

A mechanism (10) and method for selectively excluding at least part of the information, such as, for example, revenue-related information, generated by one or more particular terminals (14) or terminal types, or subsets of terminals or terminal types, from being considered or otherwise processed by revenue tracking software (12). More specifically, the present invention prevents the at least part of the information from being communicated over a network (16) to the revenue tracking software (12), thereby avoiding adverse effects that would otherwise negatively impact, i.e., slow or stop, the flow of traffic on the network (16) and the operation of the revenue tracking software (12). The present invention further allows for directing the at least part of the information to a memory (24) or other software application (26).

Abrégé

A system (10) and method for managing coin dispensation and reconciliation. The system (10) broadly comprises a controller logic, preferably in the form of a computer program stored on and executed by a computing device (14); a coin dispensing mechanism (16); and security package (22). The system (10) may be a configured for constructing cash drawers or coin canisters. In either case, the controller logic may receive input relating to past coin usage, analyzes the input to predict future coin usage, and transmits a control signal to the dispensing mechanism (16) to control dispensation of the coins based at least on part on the predicted future coin usage.

b); storing a credit on a re-usable second type of cash-substitute device (44); making a charitable donation; and crediting an account. Because the establishment own or rents and operates the machine (10), exchanged coins can be used to replenish cash drawers or to replenish its coin dispensers or dispensing machines used, for example, at or by checkstands or self-checkout stands or self-service checkout systems, and because the exchange options are primarily establishment-specific, sales increase.
