drop safe

Slot-fed secure box

A drop safe is a secure container designed so that deposits can be made through a slot or chute without opening the main compartment.

Used in retail stores and restaurants, it lets employees deposit cash immediately rather than accumulating it in a register: The manager empties the drop safe at closing.

The design prevents theft by limiting access—even the person making deposits can't retrieve what's inside.
