Abstract
A bin for use in a coin handling device for receiving coins through an opening in the bin is provided with a cover movable from an open position to a closed position. The cover is configured to couple with a key mounted in the coin handling device such that when the bin is inserted into the coin handling device, the key automatically unlocks and opens the cover. When the bin is withdrawn from the coin handling device, the opening is automatically covered and the cover is automatically locked in the closed position.
