Bit-currency Transactional Trust Tools (T3) is a set of tools and procedures based on expressing value through a bit string where the size of the string (bit count) reflects its value, and the identity of the bits is used to distinguish one such digital coin from the other, and for enabling an authentication hierarchy that alleviates the bottleneck of having a single source coin authentication for all transactions in coins issued (minted) by that mint; also enabling an instant split of a coin by simply splitting off a portion of the string of the coin, such that the bit count of the split-off string reflects its value. Each coin is comprised of that body string as described above, and a header that contains information regarding coin identifier, payment conditions, and suchlike. Such bit currency can be carried around everywhere bits are handled, and may be encrypted as necessary. Two online strangers could transact and make a payment by using the PINprivate procedure where by the strangers create a temporary secret which is sufficient for the payee to access the online location with the payment, and empty it before any third party can steal it; the temporary secret is based on the payer pre-calculating several computational tasks allowing the payee to randomly choose a task to compute, and communicating the identity of the chosen task (the temporary secret) by sending back the result, the task being a one-way function, it's unfeasible for any third party to find the secret before computing all the presented tasks. The bit currency can be exchanged between software applets carrying out rules of exchange and thereby allowing peer-to-peer networks to work more efficiently, and also allow for peer-to-peer distribution of digital goods to be carried out while honoring the digital rights of the digital file owner, so doing by allowing the mint to cut a portion of the payment digitally paid by the receiving node and allocate such cut to the digital rights owner.

A money processing system according to the present invention includes a coin change dispenser, a note change dispenser, and a control terminal, each having a control unit. The control units are generally adapted to carrying out a “change dispensing mode” control for receiving money given by a customer and dispensing change as occasion demands, and is adapted to carrying out a “money exchange mode” control, when a money exchange instruction is given from instruction means. In the money exchange mode, (a) when a single piece of money is received, a normal money exchange process for dispensing a combination of exchanged money each having a denomination smaller than that of the received money is executed such that a sum total of the combination of the exchanged money is equivalent to the received money, and (b) when a plurality of pieces of money are received, a reverse money exchange process for dispensing a combination of (the minimum number of pieces of) exchanged money each having a denomination larger than that of the received money is executed such that a sum total of the combination of the exchanged money is equivalent to the received money.

The gated parking corral is a protected parking area designed to be set up in parking lots or fields to protect a vehicle from damage. The gated corral has a fence with vertical posts and horizontal beams attached between the vertical posts to form an enclosure. At the end of the enclosure, a gate arm is pivotally connected to one of the vertical posts. A padded rail is connected between the vertical posts and protects vehicles from dings when the doors are opened.
