Abstract: A cash management safe includes a bill validator and stacker and a bagging mechanism for sealing received bills in a tamper evident bag prior to allowing the safe to be opened. Deposited bills are sealed in the bag upon expiration of a predetermined accumulation period, when an unlock code is entered in the safe's door lock, or when the capacity of the bag has been reached. The bag is sealed and die contents reported to a remote cash management server prior to unlocking the safe door, to reduce opportunities for loss during cash handling and transport.
