why do they call that drawer that you keep money in (at the cash register) a "till"?

eta etymology. linked by [livejournal.com profile] elfiepike. Properly, a drawer, from OE. tillen to draw.

when we switch registers they say 'please pull your till'--referring to just the removable compartmentalized part for $$.
