No. G-1                                                       Warrants _________

CASH TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                           SERIES G REDEEMABLE WARRANT

         This warrant certificate (the "Warrant Certificate") certifies that
___________________ or registered assigns, are the registered holders (the
"Holders") of Series G Redeemable Warrants to purchase, at any time until 5:00
P.M. New York City time on August 30, 2006 (the "Expiration Date"), up to
100,000 fully-paid and non-assessable shares, subject to adjustment in
accordance with Article 6 hereof (the "Warrant Shares"), of the common stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Cash Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein. The warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and any
warrants resulting from a transfer or subdivision of the warrants represented by
this Warrant Certificate shall sometimes hereinafter be referred to,
individually, as a "Warrant" and, collectively, as the "Warrants." This Warrant
Certificate is one of a series of Warrant Certificates being issued as part of a
private offering (the "Series F Preferred Private Financing") pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 29, 2001 providing for the sale
of up to 5 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and 100,000 Series G Warrants
between the Company and the Holder.

         1. Exercise of Warrants. Each Warrant is initially exercisable to
purchase one Warrant Share at an initial exercise price of 125% of the average
of the closing bid prices of the Company's Common Stock for the twenty (20)
trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date, as that term is defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into between the Holders and the
Company, per Warrant Share; provided that in no event shall the exercise price
be greater than $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article 6
hereof, payable in cash or by check to the order of the Company, or any
combination of cash or check. Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate with
the annexed Form of Election to Purchase duly executed, together with payment of
the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) for the Warrant Shares purchased, at
the Company's principal offices (presently located at 1434 West 11th Street, Los
Angeles, California 90015), the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate
(the "Holder" or

                                        1

<PAGE>

"Holders") shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the
Warrant Shares so purchased. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant
Certificate are exercisable at the option of the Holder hereof, in whole or in
part (but not as to fractional shares). In the case of the purchase of less than
all the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant Certificate, the Company
shall cancel this Warrant Certificate upon its surrender and shall execute and
deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant
Shares purchasable hereunder.

         2. Issuance of Certificates. Upon the exercise of the Warrants, the
issuance of certificates for the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to such
exercise shall be made forthwith without charge to the Holder thereof including,
without limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance
thereof, and such certificates shall (subject to the provisions of Article 3
hereof) be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the
Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder
and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have
paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

            The Warrant Certificates and, upon exercise of the Warrants, the
certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall be executed on behalf of the
Company by the manual or facsimile signature of those officers required to sign
such certificates under applicable law.

            This Warrant Certificate and, upon exercise of the Warrants, in part
or in whole, certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend
substantially similar to the following:

            "The securities represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), and may not be
offered or sold except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Act, (ii) to the extent applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or
any similar rule under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or
(iii) upon the delivery by the holder to the Company of an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, stating that an exemption from
registration under such Act is available."

         3. Restriction on Transfer of Warrants. The Holder of this Warrant
Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, represents and warrants to, and
covenants and agrees with the Company that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are being acquired for the Holder's own
account as an investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution
thereof and that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are not registered under
the Act or any state securities or blue sky laws and, therefore, may not be
transferred unless such securities are either registered under the Act and any
applicable state securities law or an exemption from such registration is
available. The Holder of this Warrant Certificate acknowledges that the Holder
is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under
the Act who has been provided with an opportunity to ask questions of
representatives of the Company concerning the Company and that all such
questions were answered to the satisfaction of the Holder. In connection with
any purchase of Warrant Shares the Holder agrees to execute any documents which
may be reasonably required by counsel to the Company to comply with the
provisions of the Act and applicable state securities laws.

                                        2

         4. Registration Rights. The Holder shall be entitled to all of the
rights and subject to all of the obligations set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement of the Company, dated as of the initial closing date for the
Series F Preferred Private Financing.

         5. Price

            5.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Price. The initial exercise price
of each Warrant shall be 125% of the average of the closing bid prices of the
Company's Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding
the Closing Date, as that term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement
entered into between the Holders and the Company, per Warrant Share; provided
that in no event shall the exercise price exceed $2.00 per share. The adjusted
exercise price shall be the price which shall result from time to time from any
and all adjustments of the initial exercise price in accordance with the
provisions of Article 7 hereof.

            5.2 Exercise Price. The term "Exercise Price" herein shall mean the
initial exercise price or the adjusted exercise price, depending upon the
context.

         6. Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares.

            6.1 Dividends and Distributions. In case the Company shall at any
time after the date hereof pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a
distribution in shares of Common Stock, then upon such dividend or distribution,
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such dividend or distribution
shall be reduced to a price determined by dividing an amount equal to the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend
or distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such dividend or distribution, by the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution. For purposes of any
computation to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1,
the Common Stock issuable by way of dividend or distribution shall be deemed to
have been issued immediately after the opening of business on the date following
the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
dividend or distribution.

            6.2 Subdivision and Combination. In case the Company shall at any
time subdivide or combine the outstanding Common Stock, the Exercise Price shall
forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased
in the case of combination.

            6.3 Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. Upon each adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7, the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to
the nearest full shares of Common Stock by multiplying a number equal to the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.

            6.4 Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case of any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than
a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value
to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of
any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except a change as a result of
a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in nominal value, as
aforesaid), or

                                        3

<PAGE>

in the case of a sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of
the Company as an entirety, the Holder shall thereafter have the right to
purchase the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance as if the Holder were the owner of the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to any such events at a
price equal to the product of (x) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants and (y) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the record date for such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance as if such Holder had exercised the Warrants.

             6.5 Determination of Outstanding Shares. The number of shares of
Common Stock at any one time outstanding shall include the aggregate number of
shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights,
warrants and upon the conversion or exchange of outstanding convertible or
exchangeable securities.

         7.  Exchange and Replacement of Warrant Certificates. This Warrant
Certificate is exchangeable without expense, upon the surrender hereof by the
registered Holder at the principal executive office of the Company, for a new
Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase the same number of Warrant Shares in such denominations as
shall be designated by the Holder thereof at the time of such surrender.

             Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate,
and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Warrants, if
mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor, in
lieu thereof.

         8.  Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be
required to issue certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock
and shall not be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional
interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests
shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of
shares of Common Stock.

         9.  Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that it
will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized share
capital, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants,
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, for issuance upon such
exercise, and that, upon exercise of the Warrants and payment of the Exercise
Price therefor, all Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and
validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to the preemptive
rights of any shareholder.

         10. Notices to Warrant Holders. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or Holders the right to vote or
to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meetings of
stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or as having any
rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. If, however, at any time
prior to the expiration of the Warrants and their exercise, any of the following
events shall occur:

         (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution payable
otherwise than in cash, or a cash dividend or

                                        4

<PAGE>

distribution payable otherwise then out of current or retained earnings, as
indicated by the accounting treatment of such dividend or distribution on the
books of the Company; or

         (b) the Company shall offer to all the holders of its Common Stock any
additional shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the
Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common
Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company, or any option, right or
warrant to subscribe therefor;

         (c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than
in connection with a consolidation or merger) or a sale of all or substantially
all of its property, assets and business as an entirety shall be proposed; or

         (d) the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall propose to issue
any rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or any other securities of
the Company or of such affiliate to all the stockholders of the Company;

then, in any one or more of said events, the Company shall give written notice
of such event at least twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed as a record date
or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the
stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution, convertible or
exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or entitled
to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale. Such
notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books,
as the case may be. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of any action taken in connection with the declaration or
payment of any such dividend or distribution, or the issuance of any convertible
or exchangeable securities or subscription rights, options or warrants, or any
proposed dissolution, liquidation, winding up or sale.

             Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that it shall
promptly deliver to the Holder copies of all financial statements, reports and
proxy statements which the Company is required to send to its stockholders
generally.

         11. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made when
delivered, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested:

         (a) If to a registered Holder of the Warrants, to the address of such
Holder as shown on the books of the Company; or

         (b) If to the Company, to the address set forth in Article 1 of this
Agreement or to such other address as the Company may designate by notice to the
Holders.

         12. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by
or for the benefit of the Company and the Holders inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns hereunder.

         13. Governing Law.

             13.1 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been
made and delivered in the State of Delaware and shall be governed as to
validity, interpretation, construction, effect and in all other respects by the
internal laws of the State of Delaware.

or relating to this Warrant Certificate, or any other agreement entered into
between the Company and the Holder pursuant to the Series F Preferred Private
Financing shall be instituted exclusively in the Supreme Court of New York, New
