A simple question. What does this sentence mean?

Peter Nichols, a British coin dealer has something to say about coins having been withdrawn in a way that I don't understand. What is he talking about? What is 'in the till'? and why 'where it comes from'?

Finn: Peter Nichols is a coin dealer; would he miss the British penny if it was withdrawn?

Peter Nichols, British coin dealer:
Not at all, I don’t even count them in the till. When the section gets too full I put them in the charity box, that’s more where it comes from now, yeah.

The till means the cash register. Look here. q=cash+register+pictures&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=WF07UbiPHuTx0wHC9IHgBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CDkQsAQ&biw=1440&bih=770 that’s more where it comes from now I don't know what he means.

  • The larger context would probably make it clear.
