I thought that the vault in a bank was the place where all the cash was placed, not the safety deposit boxes. I never understood when I saw that the tellers had cash in their cash drawers, and when I deposited money the tellers would not take the cash into the vault.
Watching movies about bank robberies where the main goal of the robbers is to get into the vault confused me.
