Best Practices for Counting Cash
Whether you are balancing a retail drawer or counting out tips after a long shift, following a standard operating procedure prevents costly recalculations.
Sort and Face
Before counting a single bill, physically separate all money into different piles based on denomination. Then, "face" the bills so they are all facing the exact same direction and right-side up. This makes counterfeit detection and counting much faster.
Count the Quantities
Do not try to keep a running total in your head (e.g., "$20, $40, $60..."). It is too easy to lose track. Instead, simply count the quantity of bills in the pile (e.g., "1, 2, 3... 14 twenty-dollar bills").
Use the Tool
Input the quantity of that specific denomination into the Cash Calculator. The computer will handle multiplying the quantity by the value and adding it to the grand total flawlessly every time.
