Which one should you buy?

The Polspag is the one most Australian homes should buy: it is sized like a real till, with four spring loaded note clips under a five compartment cantilever tray so $50 and $100 notes lie flat. Choose the xydled if you would rather set a dial than carry a key, and the small Vivva if you only need somewhere lockable in a drawer.
