Process and data integration of additional funds into cash handling device and reconciliation

A cash recycler or other currency handling device includes a flexible capacity module for adding additional storage capacity to the cash handling device. In some arrangements, all bills of one denomination, i.e., all one dollar bills, may be stored in, deposited into, and/or dispensed from the flexible capacity module. The bills stored in the flexible capacity module may not be debited or credited to a client account at a financial institution because the bills may not be considered part of the inventory of the cash handling device. However count data for the bills in the flexible capacity module may be integrated with data from the cash handling device in order to facilitate balancing, reconciliation, and the like.
