PCT No. PCT/GB93/01622 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 27, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 27, 1995 PCT Filed Jul. 30, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/03874 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 17, 1994.A coin handling apparatus can operate in either one of two modes. In a first mode, coins are delivered to containers unless a predetermined maximum level T has been reached. When a serviceman services the machine, each container is automatically emptied to a predetermined, alterable float level FD. The emptied coins and the coins in the cashbox are then removed by the serviceman. In a second mode, coins are delivered to containers until the numbers stored in the containers correspond to predetermined, alterable upper levels FU. The containers are replenished to these levels when a serviceman services the machine. Each of the levels FU and FD can be periodically altered on the basis of a calculated likelihood that coins will be required for change.
