cash her out.

"Cash out(up)" means "to count the money that has been taken in a shop/store, restaurant, etc", and I tried to hear the line many times, what does "her" mean in the middle? Is it mistyping or something meaningful?

In my experience, you 'cash up' when you check actual takings against recorded takings (typically at the end of a day or a shift). I have no experience of 'cashing out' - which is what happens in casinos when a client leaves and changes chips or tokens for cash. I've never met a transitive usage, but I'd guess that cashing someone out is the other side of that transaction - what the cashier does when someone wants to cash out.

If you're right about the use of cash out/in (maybe the phrasal verb works like that in some parts of the world), maybe a person at the end of a shift (when handing over the machine and the takings to another employee) would 'cash them out' - I don't know (but check your till receipts - they often say 'Your assistant: <name>.' Perhaps when nameN1 hands over to nameN+1, they 'cash them out'...
