Abstract
An apparatus for receiving currency which includes a housing having a deposit section and a recess for removably receiving a box for holding the currency. Passages for the currency are defined within the deposit section, and entries are defined by the box communicating with the passages. The box includes a blocking plate normally closing the entries with first and second locking means holding the plate in blocking position to prevent access. Lock operating means are positioned within the housing recess, and one lock is associated with the box to unlock the blocking plate when the box is properly positioned within the recess. A second lock on the box must be unlocked to enable operation of the lock operating means within the recess. The passages for the currency comprise at least two passages for separately receiving bills and coins, and the entries to the box comprise separate openings communicating with the respective passages. Separate compartments are defined within the box for maintaining the bills and coins in separate positions. The box is provided with an independent exit door whereby the bills and coins can be independently collected. This bottom door is slideable outwardly when latch means are disengaged to free the door.
