Abstract
Methods and devices provide flexible demarcation points in order to selectably recognize currency deposited in a cash handling device. A denomination threshold may be set. A deposit may be requested. Currency may be deposited and scanned in order to determine its denomination. The currency may be routed to a stacker corresponding to the currency's denomination. If the denomination of the currency is less than or equal to the denomination threshold, then the deposit may be credited to an account. Otherwise, crediting of the account may be delayed until the currency can be verified as, for example, not invalid reproductions of currency. Information about the deposit may be communicated to a bank.
