Pretty sure PATH was doing something similar even in 2015 - 2017.
I remember multiple times being annoyed by a short train that would block a station for 10 minutes in the late morning. Police would get off, go upstairs, then come back with presumably money. Maybe I was mistaken why they were there but that was always my impression.
I am sort of surprised they stopped picking up cash this way since it always struck me as smart because no one could necessarily know when they were coming, could vary pick up times, advantage of grabbing money and disappearing into the tunnel.
