Brinks truck

Cash delivery vehicle

A Brinks truck is an armored vehicle used to transport cash, valuables, and other high-security cargo between banks, businesses, and ATMs.

The name comes from Brink's, one of the oldest and most prominent security companies in the United States.

The term has become somewhat generic for any armored transport vehicle, regardless of company: The Brinks truck pulled up to the bank's back entrance.

In hip-hop and casual speech, Brinks truck evokes large amounts of cash: They backed up the Brinks truck for that contract.
