Abstract

Methods and systems for exchanging various forms of value, Including coins, currency, credit, debit, and/or bank account funds, for prepaid cash cards, credit cards, phone cards, gift cards, in-store gift certificates, e-certificates, etc. In one embodiment, a value exchange machine includes a coin input region, a coin sorting/counting apparatus, a card reader, and a communications facility configured to communicate with a remote computer network. In another embodiment, a value exchange system includes value exchange machines connected to remote computers via a communications link. A user wishing to purchase a gift certificate for use on-line can visit one of the value exchange machines, select the desired transaction, and pay for the certificate. After confirming payment, the value exchange machine dispenses the certificate to the user, who can then go on-line to make purchases from an associated retailer with the certificate.
