In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided to forecast denomination needs at one or more retail shopping facilities. The system comprises a control circuit configured to determine a predicted optimized quantity of each of multiple different denominations of currency to be available for use at a retail shopping facility over a future period of time as a function of historic needs; select for each of the multiple denominations one of multiple different models; forecast a quantity of each of the multiple denominations to be present at the termination of the first future period of time by applying the selected one of the models; and determine, for each of the multiple denominations, whether the forecasted quantity of the denomination is greater than a threshold quantity of that denomination of the currency.
