Abstract: A security container for storing paper currency comprises an elongated, tubular member, preferably fabricated from metal, and has its opposite ends sealingly enclosed such that the removal of the opposite ends of the container results in the destruction thereof. One of the container ends is in the form of a cap that is press fitted into the tubular end. The cap is provided with a central opening in the form of a cylindrical tube that extends inwardly from the cap into the interior of the tubular member. The cylindrical tube has a diameter which is sized to receive a rolled currency and has a length which is less than the length of the rolled currency such that once the currency is inserted through the tube into the interior of the container, it may not be withdrawn from the container via the tube. No access is provided to the interior of the container, and access to the currency therein is obtained by the destruction of the container.
