With letter boxes I believe that all they contain is a card. (That's what was done when they first started many years ago). But geocaches contain all sorts of gifts that you can take something and also leave something. Plus a log book to sign.
Letterboxes contain a bit more than that, they usually have a rubber stamp with the logo of the box on it, an ink pad, pens or pencils & a log book to put your own stamp in. The stamps are not cheap to have made either. Some times people leave a letter to be posted by the next person finding it as well.
It still amazes me that anyone would want to remove them. They are only interesting to the people looking for them.
