Handling cash in a mailroom or retail counter usually leads to one fork in the road: do you need just a secure place to store bills and coins, or do you need a complete register that also prints receipts? The Toast POS TC200/TC200W Cash Drawer and the Royal Alpha 601SC POS Cash Register w/Keys, Printer & Cash Drawer Tested Working answer that question in very different ways.
Quick verdict: If you already run a POS system and just need a secure drop for cash, the Toast drawer is the lean pick. If you want a single register that does the whole job, the Royal Alpha brings more capability.

Toast POS TC200/TC200W Cash Drawer
The Toast TC200/TC200W is a metal drawer with a removable coin compartment and a media slot for checks. It's in new open-box condition, so it arrives without prior use. The removable coin compartment keeps change sorted and easy to access, making it a practical reason to choose this drawer. Its role centers on cash storage, so you'll need to pair it with a separate display and printer from your existing POS setup.
Royal Alpha 601SC POS Cash Register w/Keys, Printer & Cash Drawer Tested Working
The Royal Alpha 601SC is a used electric cash register that has been power-on tested and is working. It includes a thermal printer, a cash drawer, and operator and manager keys. Because it's tested working, you get the printer and drawer in one package without sourcing separate components. The limitation is the customer-facing display, which is not working and likely has a ribbon cable issue; core register functions remain operational.
Final choice by use case: Choose the Toast TC200/TC200W if your POS station is already built and you just need secure storage for cash. Choose the Royal Alpha 601SC if you want a complete register that's ready to use with its core functions verified.
