I use a little brown pot with a lid
It needs to be something that won't collect water - hence the lid and if you're worried about peoples honesty then maybe a moneybox (to make it easy to put money in but not so easy to take it out) -
But if people are determined to steal they would probably take the whole box/pot/moneybox anyway.Originally posted by vicky View PostComment

How about one of these or something similar?

I once bough 'Horse carrots' at the side of the road - I guess the owners must have had money stolen, as they had attached a plastic drainpipe to the fence, leading down to a money box under ground. Customers just put their money in the top of the pipe, and it's gone! All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

What a bril idea! I have visions of an underground bank with lots of little folk collecting the money or a network of pipes leading to a vault!!When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author UnknownComment

If theft is a concern another option would be to have a box (tupperware? an wooden wine box? a magazine file stuck under the table?) with envelopes in it so people can drop the money through your letter box (assuming it's not a long walk from the pavement/road) - that's something I've been thinking about doing around here as I have a feeling a money box would grow legs.
Of course, people can't make change if everything is dropped through your letter box or down a pipe as described by G4.
Other possibilities are those metal biscuit/chocolate/sweet tins like Quality street come in.
A good combination for an area with an abundance of sticky-fingered sods might be a pipe to an underground box and a note to knock on your door if they need change and if nobody is in to drop the money in another time.Comment
