That doesn't make it a good idea.

I think your two biggest concerns should be fire and theft. Anything you do in your apartment will not be theft-resistant, so forget about that issue. You can't fix that if you insist on keeping cash at home. I'll assume that your keepsake box is not fireproof, so I'd focus on addressing that issue. Search at Amazon or ebay for a fireproof container. They sell them at Staples and other stores, but you can probably get a cheap one used online.
