A cash drawer for use in mobile POS and other retail environments includes a plurality of coin bins that are positioned uniformly around the geometric center of the cash drawer. This unique arrangement eliminates the need for counterweights to prevent the drawer from tipping when opened. Bins for storing paper currency are disposed laterally outward from the coin bins and are canted outward so that the paper currency lies at an angle relative to the floor of the cash drawer rather than lying flat as in a conventional cash drawer. This enables the width of the drawer also to be reduced significantly.
