cashing

Turning in chips

Cashing is the act of exchanging something for money, most commonly a check.

When you cash a check at a bank or check-cashing service, you receive currency in return.

The term extends to cashing in chips at a casino or cashing out an investment.

To be cashing in on something means profiting from an opportunity, sometimes with a connotation of exploitation: Tech companies are cashing in on AI hype.
