As mentioned, what is the actual meaning of の in 現金の受け取り役? I found the
expression in a recent news article and have been wondering about its meaning.

The full sentence is

> 少年は現金 **の** 受け取り役とみられ、「指示に従い、受け取りにいったのは事実です」と供述しているという。

Meaning of の in 「現金の受け取り役」
I think this の is used in indicating an objective. 現金の受け取り means "receiving
money". For example, 本の配達(delivering books)、食事の支度(preparing foods).

answer
現金の受け取り役 means "receiver of money". It stands for relationship of possession.
("Receiver for money" or something might be more natural sounding English, I'm
not sure.)
