A lid that fits the most popular cardboard coffee cups includes a slot for bills and another slot for coins. The slots have scanner tech that counts the money inserted and sends money-insertion signals to a Bluetooth transceiver embedded into the underside of the lid to allow connectivity to a phone
app such as one for financial planning, online shopping, or even online banking . A speaker embedded in the lid can be per-programmed with selectable/recordable responses such as "thank you" and "have a nice day".
