Abstract: A system and method for a charging assembly designed to sanitize the exterior of sanitizing containers is provided. The system and method of the present disclosure are generally designed to provide power to a plurality of sanitizing containers within a cavity that contains ultraviolet (UV) emitters used to sanitize the exterior of the sanitizing containers. To this end, the system and method of the present disclosure may comprise a vessel, charging pins, power supply, and circuitry connecting the power supply to the various components of the system. Spacing rods may be used to support the containers within the internal cavity at an angle to reduce movement, which may allow for a more even distribution of UV light. To reduce unwanted exposure to UV light, switches may be used to allow for the control of power to the UV emitters.

Abstract: A system and method for sanitizing currency is provided. The system generally comprises a container, control board, switch, power supply, heating elements, temperature probe, and charging ports. Currency is inserted into the system via an entrance, and the control board provides power to the heating elements from the power supply to increase the temperature within the internal cavity of the container. The temperature probe assists the control board and heating element to maintain a desired temperature for a desired length of time in order to kill pathogens that may be living on the currency. A switch on the container may be used to complete a circuit of control board and initiate a cleaning cycle when the entrance is closed by a user.
