If only I had that many bills, I could test the best method.

definitely interesting but i wonder how close to the truth it is

Many of those just look damn uncomfortable.

That was interesting. My father counts and sorts money similar to the method displayed in the first clip (Singapore?) except he counts much much faster. When counting a stack of mixed bills, the different denominations flip out of the pile and are sorted between his fingers. It was very strange to watch the first time I saw it.

Send me a large pile of money of different denominations and I'll see what I can do.

Depends on how crinkled and wrinkled they are,
first ya gotta go through all your coat pockets,
your pants pockets,
and wherever else you may have squirreled those notes.

unfold them...discern their denominations...

Same here.

Interesting video, though. I can definitely say that most Americans I've watched count money the way this states.

Yup, I count it like an American. But we have sweet colored monopoly money so its really easy to denote the denomination.

Some of the different ways seemed so impractical and slow.

That's why his stack was "For Game Use Only"...
