A drop safe, also known as a depository safe, is a safe than you can deposit small items into without opening the safe. They are useful if your business handles large amounts of cash or small, valuable items such as jewelry or coins. There are a number of different types of drop safes. Some have a slot in the top or front, others have a rotary hopper like the ones used on a mailbox. They feature baffles on the slot or hopper to keep someone from “fishing” the contents of the safe back out through the opening.
You could use a drop safe to deposit any large bills you receive during the day — if you are robbed the thief won’t have access to them. But it’s a good idea to move your cash or valuables to a more secure safe or the bank at the end of the day, because depository safes are not very burglar-resistant. You can also buy combination drop safes that have a drop safe on the top and a more secure safe without an opening on the bottom. For more information on the drop safe.
