[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3546220, member: 112"]I'm assuming you mean Sentry Safe boxes ? Similar to or one of these ? [url]https://www.sentrysafe.com/products/cash-boxes[/url] To the best of my knowledge they are not fireproof so they don't present the humidity problem mentioned in a post above. But, you might want to be aware, that the Sentry brand safes, that are fireproof, they are notorious for the humidity issue as the fireproofing material they use in them puts off huge amounts of humidity inside the safes.
