A parking lot fee collection box includes a top wall carrying a plurality of slots through which money is inserted, each slot being numbered and being associated with a parking space of the same number. Money placed into the slot falls vertically downwardly into a collection compartment which is one cell of a receptacle contained within a storage space below the money slot carrying top wall. Each compartment is vertically deep and its bottom is spaced a considerable distance from the money slot. A vertical space is provided between the upper ends of the compartments and the money slot carrying top wall. A hood structure covers the money slot carrying top wall. The hood both blocks the passage of light into the slots and limits the vertical space above the slots. A door forms a front closure for the box and normally closes access opening into the chamber in which the money collecting receptacles are stored. The door has inwardly turned lips at its edges which fit into slots formed by and between sidewalls and brace members connected to the sidewalls.
