Abstract: A method of producing a secure chest adapted to hold cash dispensable from an automated banking machine, includes producing a wall panel. The wall panel includes a first wall liner that has a first planar portion and at least one first border wall that extends transverse to the first planar portion. The first planar portion and the at least one first border wall bound a pocket. With the first wall liner positioned in a first orientation, the method includes filling the pocket with flowable cement. Subsequent to filling the pocket with the cement, the method includes attaching the first wall liner and a second wall liner in fixed relation. Thereafter the wall panel is stored in the first orientation in which the cement at least partially hardens. Thereafter the wall panel is assembled in joined relation with at least one other wall panel to form the chest.
