1. A valuable media cassette, comprising:
a storage base to store valuable media;
a cover comprising:
a first inside portion comprising a first blast energy collection plate with a plurality of first apertures surrounded by a first set of serrated teeth that surround and line edges of each first aperture;
a second inside portion comprising a second blast energy collection plate with a plurality of second apertures surrounded and lined around edges of the second apertures by a second set of serrated teeth that surround each second aperture;
a first set of spacers adapted to adjust and hold two ends of a first fluid filled bag and pinch the first fluid filled bag holding the first fluid filled bag in place and removing slack in the first fluid filled bag forcing a first fluid in the first fluid filled bag upward into a top surface of the first fluid filled bag to extend first portions of the first fluid filled bag through the first apertures, wherein the first set of spacers are adjustable and moveable; and
a second set of spacers adapted to adjust and hold two ends of the second fluid filled bag and pinch the second fluid filled bag holding the second fluid filled bag in place and removing slack in the second fluid filled bag forcing a second fluid in the second fluid filled bag upward into a top surface of the second fluid filled bag to extend second portions of the second fluid filled bag through the second apertures, wherein the second set of spaces are adjustable and moveable;
wherein the first blast energy collection plate is adapted to encase and to hold the first fluid filled bag with the first portions extending through the first apertures of the first blast energy collection plate and in direct contact with the first set of serrated teeth, wherein the first apertures are first dispersion windows;
wherein the second blast energy collection plate is adapted to encase and to hold the second fluid filled bag with the second portions extending through the second apertures of the second blast energy collection plate and in direct contact with the set of serrated teeth, wherein the second apertures are second dispersion windows;
wherein the first set of serrated teeth is adapted to displace and puncture the first bag portions at a plurality of locations along the first bag causing the first fluid to be dispersed through the first dispersion windows and the second set of serrated teeth is adapted to displace and puncture the second bag portions at a second plurality of locations along the second bag causing the second fluid to be dispersed through the second dispersion windows when the cover is in a closed position and after encountering a sufficient force to cause the first fluid filled bag and the second fluid filled bag to rupture and disperse the first and second fluids onto the valuable media through the first dispersion windows and the second dispersion windows of the cover onto the valuable media.
