I used to think that the Night Safe outside a bank did what the cash machine, or "hole in the wall", does: that you could stick a note in it (presumably with your name and bank details) and get money out. Thus, I was ahead of my time, as I was a small child in the late 1970s/early ‘80s, in the days before "holes in the wall"!
