A depository for imprinting with the date, deposit number, etc. an envelope containing paper currency and/or coins and thereafter storing the imprinted envelope, including a combined envelope receptacle and transfer unit for receiving and temporarily storing in a vertical disposition a deposited envelope and while so vertically stored imprinting it with the date and deposit number, and a vault provided with a slot in the top surface which, when the combined receptacle and transfer unit is mounted atop the vault, underlies an open bottom provided in the receptacle and transfer unit. The combined receptacle and transfer unit is provided with a door through which a deposited article can be inserted into the unit for printing, while vertically disposed, and a trap door overlying the slot in the vault top for allowing the deposited article, following printing, to pass under the force of gravity into the vault when the trap door is moved to its open position. The printer within the combined receptacle and transfer unit is located a sufficient distance above the open floor of the unit to insure that any coins in the deposit envelope will, under the force of gravity, fall into the bottom of the envelope and thereby be located below the printer such that they do not interfere with the printing operation.
