Thanks, Karl.
agree TonyTK : I Love The Sound Of Breaking Glass (Nick Lowe peaking at 7 in April '78) - or "pneumatic cash transfer systems" - an air-powered tube system to convey cash to a secure area or safe, www.thamesvalley.police.uk/business-crime/shops.htm .

Thanks, Tony. I imagine they use quite strong 'perspex' containers to avoid the mishaps which you fear.

suction

I assume it's the pipe system you see in large markets like Metro, where they put in the money and the money is "sucked in" and transported through pipes. Probably a security measure.
