TS, I'm not with a charter, so not sure if this is of interest?
We have a staffed "central cash office" where we collect a cash box before each flight departing from base. The cash box contains X amount of US dollars and X amount of Euros + wallets. Also phone cards, upgrade vouchers, and enveloppes to put in the counted money generated on each stretch.
It's up to the P or AP to keep the cash box filled with enough small notes and coins to stay in workable condition. For that purpose most of us make sure we carry about 50 US in small notes at all times. But we don't have to go to the bank to get them, whenever we run out we trade big-for-small at the cash office.

The new system proposed by your comp sounds pretty harsh, and I wonder if it is not an infringement of your reporting time rules? The following is a quote from this thread over on the safety forum. Might be worth having a look at and perhaps CHIRPing the proposed procedure?

You cannot perform any tasks at the behest of the company prior to your report time. Quite simply, because it is part of the job and therefore must be performed within duty time, or the company are required to adjust report times to include any other tasks performed at their behest.
I'd go straight to CHIRP with this one.

Hope this is of some assistance & good luck with the good fight.
