What is a coin drawer?
The Cash Drawer is the most essential part of a POS system. It is a section under the Cash Register or Point of Sales Device POS where you keep the papers, credit card receipts, or cash from transactions safely. The Drawer has a clip on Cash Tray that is designed to hold cash. The cash drawer is widely used in almost all retail stores, particularly in the POS system.
