Abstract

A safe providing both permanent and temporary storage of money. The safe uses bill validators to accurately count cash deposited into a secure area. A control system records the amount of money entered into both the temporary and permanent storage and the amount withdrawn from the temporary storage. The control system includes both a primary and an auxiliary memory for storing an audit trail of these transactions. Further, the control system utilizes an encryption code for communications between a main controller and each of the door controllers.
