1. A method for associating a currency processing event on a currency processing machine with a user, comprising the acts of:
- receiving from the user a first biometric input in a biometric input device operatively associated with the currency processing machine;
storing the user'"'"'s first biometric input in a local or remote computer-readable memory device communicatively coupled to the currency processing machine;
processing a batch of currency using the currency processing machine, the currency processing machine comprising a currency processing device configured to sort the batch of currency and determine a total value of the batch of currency;
storing data relating to the batch of currency processed on the currency processing machine on the computer-readable memory device in association with the user'"'"'s first biometric input;
receiving from the user a second biometric input in another biometric input device;
storing the user'"'"'s second biometric input in the computer-readable memory device;
retrieving from the computer-readable memory device, using a processor, the user'"'"'s first biometric input in association with a redemption operation; and
comparing the retrieved biometric input, using the processor, at a redemption location.

12. A method for associating a currency processing event on a funds processing machine with a user, comprising the acts of:
-
receiving from the user a first biometric input in a biometric input device operatively associated with the funds processing machine; storing the user'"'"'s first biometric input in a local or remote computer-readable memory device communicatively coupled to the currency processing machine; processing a batch of funds using the funds processing machine, the funds processing machine comprising a funds processing device configured to sort the batch of funds and determine a total value of the batch of fund; storing data relating to the batch of funds processed on the funds processing machine on the computer-readable memory device in association with the user'"'"'s first biometric input; receiving from the user a second biometric input in another biometric input device; storing the user'"'"'s second biometric input in the computer-readable memory device; retrieving from the computer-readable memory device, using a processor, the user'"'"'s first biometric input in association with a redemption operation; and comparing the retrieved biometric input, using the processor, at a redemption location. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
