Abstract
Cash grid techniques or systems are disclosed that provide a centralized tracking service for physical and digital currency. In operation, physical digital currency can be associated with, and otherwise tracked between, a mobile wallet and to the cash grid using unique ledger and communication systems and methodologies. A trusted bank or other entity can provide a machine which can convert physical cash to virtual cash. As part of the conversion from physical to digital currency, the identification (ID) (e.g., serial number) of the physical cash is transferred to and linked to the virtual (or digital) cash.
