And we make sure there is a $5 and a $10 in the jar (depression-era pickle jar, a thematic fit for our museum) along with folded $1's. This just gave me an idea...maybe I should put a ration coupon in there too!
 
Also, since we do not have a gift store...rather then sell stickers and patches, etc., that we have...they are given along with donations of certain amounts. We have $3, $5 and $7 items. In order to sell them, we would need a State sales tax ID and have to collect and pay sales tax on these.

Why -not- clear acrilic?  You can "seed" the box with envelopes or cash
each morning, and clear it each evening.  I recall a study that show people
give more where they can see that others have given, and give in line with
what they see others have given.  They also give more if there is some
interactivity in the giving.
