This is a picture of a safe that was originally located in the Cedar Key Bank. Now it is exhibited at the the Cedar Key Historical Society in Cedar Key, Florida.
Directed Questions: Why do you think it is called a safe? Below, there is a modern image of a bank safe or vault. What are the similarities and differences? Why do you think a bank needs a safe or vault? What do you think a bank keeps inside the safe or vault? Did you know that banks do not store all of the money? They only hold a small percentage of money that is deposited in the bank. For example, if you deposit $100 in a bank, the bank might hold $10 and loan out $90 to other people. The money they hold in a bank is called a reserve.
