In slang usage, a cashbox refers to a toll booth — the box you pull up to on a motorway or bridge to hand over your money. The literal meaning (a box for storing cash) blends with the slang in an obvious way, but the toll booth usage gives it a specific streetwise flavour, evoking road trips, late-night drives, and the small annoyance of digging for exact change.
We were flying down the highway until we hit every single cashbox on the route and burned through all our coins.
