Now I use an apron and I couldn't be happier. My cash is always with me and people love its "handmade" look. Its was the best find and a great change.

It lives in a drawer in my "show cabinet," which stays stocked all the time so I can just grab it and go when it's showtime. The box has a latch, and it's just wide enough for bills, so it's easy to keep them neatly in order. The same drawer also has an envelope for collecting checks and credit card slips, as well as my credit card swiper and blank slips. Big bills get culled out and stashed elsewhere (I'm not telling). I situate the cabinet out of the way with the drawers facing away from customers, so I'm not too worried about theft -- I'll notice if you're fiddling with it. Cash boxes out in the open make me nervous -- they scream, "Here's the cash! Right here!" And they have convenient handles for grabbing. I use a wooden cigar box for my cash.
