LOS ANGELES (Feb. 1) BUSINESS WIRE -Feb. 1, 1999--Cash Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ:CHNG) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, CoinBank
Automated Systems, Inc. ("CoinBank"), has signed an agreement with the Army and
Air Force Exchange Service ("AAFES") to install its CoinBank(R) advanced coin

families the first convenient method to dispose of loose coin, AAFES is the
largest purchaser of prepaid phone cards in the world and can benefit from
CoinBank's ability to electronically issue and dispense phone cards. This
capability provided CoinBank with a key advantage in the fierce competition for
this award."

Following these initial installations, the Company anticipates extending the
scope of the agreement throughout the AAFES system.
