Abstract
A coin replenishing apparatus, such as a detachable safe, can be securely mounted on a coin receiving and dispensing machine. The safe can have an interior cavity with an opening that can be covered by a lid that is lockable. Coins can be deposited into the safe cavity in a bulk state. A shutter member is movable from an exterior of the safe body member to enable the opening and closing of access to the interior cavity. The safe body exterior can have guide rails, connectors and other features for both securing and determining the position of the safe above a coin receipt opening in the coin receiving and dispensing apparatus.
