In the old days a novel way of handling cash was a single register like this, positioned high in the store. Money and receipts was sent from this point, via little screw top containers shot along piano wire back and forth to several sales counters below.
This is just a replica today but I did see the same system operating in a huge old store at Charters Towers, Queensland just a few years ago.
