What should you do with small amounts of loose money found in an AFC machine?

• A. Collect loose coins or bills
• B. Place in a Treasure Payment envelope
• C. Label the machine number
• D. Place in the CHB bag

Answer: (A)

When you find small amounts of money loose in an AFC machine, your first step is to collect the loose coins or bills. Securing the cash right away prevents loss and ensures it can be counted and reconciled with the machine’s records during shift close or bank deposits. This keeps accountability clear and helps maintain accurate cash handling.

The other options don’t address securing the cash in the moment: placing money in a Treasure Payment envelope bypasses the normal cash-handling workflow, labeling the machine number doesn’t handle the cash at all, and putting money in a CHB bag is part of a broader transport process and isn’t the immediate action for uncounted loose money found by an agent.
