Is his nightclub going to launder large bills or corp script?
The economics of 2060 is quite different than now. Additionally
the guards would be a rigger and mercs since go gangs would LOVE to
have an armored car. I'm sure the car and guards would have panic buttons
for both the Law and Medical. Those who don't deal electronically would be
mostly Mom and Pop stores and underground fronts. Most big companies use
electronic processing for all orders - I worked at a business card shop and
most orders were handled electronically and paid through EDI. I'm sure most
commercial places would have business accounts and those would be paid
monthly electronically.

How often does the car do pick ups? If its daily the take would be small.
What is the neighborhood? If its AAA it may be two guards and 10k nuyen
daily a store (family-owned jewelry store, importers) and would probably
have 4 routes and empty the truck each time. Most armored cars don't just
pick up money, but can also bring change, small bills, etc.
