Abstract: A construction for securing valuables such as currency wherein the currency is deposited in a housing which removably holds a storage box for the valuables. The storage box is provided with a door which is normally locked in the closed position but which is unlocked and movable to an open position when associated with the housing. Movement of the door between open and closed positions is controlled by a pivotally mounted arm which is freed for movement when the storage box is located in the housing. The arm is controlled by a handle exposed on the exterior of the storage box, and the locking means provided determine the capability of handle movement. A separate acceptance receptable is provided for the discharge of valuables from the storage box into the receptacle. The operation of a separate storage box door is controlled by drive mechanisms associated with the acceptance receptacle, and the locking means of the storage box also determine the capability of movement of the drive means.
