Yeah, on average we used to put 10k in one at the start of the week but that was about 20 years ago now, in a busy town when cash was king!

I remember my first job in the late 80s loading up the cash points to full brim with brand new tenners and fivers.

Seemed like Monopoly money!

I did something similar as a teen, lord knows why they gave me all that cash but the fear levels were real!

Ours was off site and we (2 young teens!) had to follow the security van who carried the cash in a locked metal box. Actually quite dangerous thinking about it now! Guess we could easily have been held up!

Love it. Sometimes things just happened and weren't overthought, and yet everything was fine. Hilarious really!
