cash drawers

Where bills collect

Cash drawers are the sliding compartments in a cash register or point-of-sale terminal where money is kept during transactions.

They typically have divided sections for bills and coins, allowing cashiers to make change quickly.

The drawer opens automatically when a sale is completed: The cash drawer popped open with a ding.
