Italian term or phrase: Contazione
Once again a term featured in an accounting document which I presume refers to counting the sums collected from a vending machine, but I don't know if there is a specific accounting term for this in English.

Cash counting
Explanation:
Hi,
maybe cash counting would be the best term: "contazione refers the act of counting parcels and their content (e.g. money). For instance, the private security service goes to a bank, collects the bags of money and takes them to its own headquarters, where they count the parcels and their content to make sure nothing is missing."
