When I was little my mum had a rectangular box with slots in that she put the money in on payday to cover household expenses. Does anyone know where I could get one?

It's more along the lines of Ruis's one than the cash tin type from Argos. Can't find it on studio website though

That takes me back
my Mum never had one, although I always wished she did
Other Mums did.
Its the same system as the envelope system now, or various money boxes dotted around the house as OH's Mother uses.0
