Is it true? Is it really regional?? Some of those methods look like you could accidentally skip a note or too.
The English/US/Canadian way separates the money from one hand to the other, so you can't confuse the piles... seems most logical, but then, that's how I've always done it, lol.

Interesting, because I definitely do usually count it the last way, and it seems the most logical to my brain.
It'd be interesting to know if people from other locales do as the video says they do. ------

I actually spend some time practicing some of the ways that are different from mine and it pretty hard, your own manner of counting is so ingrained it's like writing lefthanded. -------------------------------------------------- If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles - Sun Tzu |

Edited by: Akita T on 11/08/2008 23:19:32 Eastern Europe and all but a slight variation of the last way seem unnatural to me, now that we got plastic/polymer banknotes. And I know at least two or three other variations of various methods shown before that people around me would use back when we still employed paper money.
My prefered method (lately) goes something like this (I'm a right-hander): hold cash in right hand, use left hand index finger to grab the bottom of the pile, use left thumb to apply counter pressure to rest of banknotes above, slide bottom-most piece of cash in the left hand, hold thumb over it, move back right hand about 50% of the cash width to separate stacks, grab next bottom-most banknote in right hand with left hand index finger, remove left thumb from counted stack to apply counter-presure and repeat previous moves until all cash is counted.

Are you trying to bubblesort or something ? I tried you way and now my floor is covered in 10 euro bills :) I'll go practice some more and see if I can figure it out. -------------------------------------------------- If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles - Sun Tzu |

I count notes in a similar way to the US, Canadian, UK style: the same way i'd count the amount of cards in a pack.
Hold the pack/bundle in my left hand, use the right thumb to drag the card/note into my right hand.
Seems natural to me...

Most of those ways seem to be needlessly rough in the handling of the money. Not to mention very easy to slip and lose count.

It an get messy with larger numbers of banknotes, indeed crappy example ASF zipped vid poor webcam, poor framerate, poor lighting, but you get the idea.

bizarre, really bizarre
I've never even *thought* of counting any way but the Canadian way.
A couple of those look downright weird.

Edited by: Slade Trillgon on 12/08/2008 03:47:14 This is real funny. I do not ever remember consciously watching people count money as a kid. My parents never counted money, like the US version, around me and my sisters. That all being said the US/Canadian style is what I feel came naturally with little to no conditioning.
Plus did anyone catch that a few of the ways to count have the individual looking at the bills upside down. I do not know if this would cause a problem for most people, but those of us that suffer with the various levels of dyslexia would definitely have some problems

Edited by: Blane Xero on 12/08/2008 04:34:55 Some of them are natured to protecting the money while its being counted (For public Areas) The most popular way would be the last, but some of the others would be alot harder to whip out of your hands as you are doing it in some of the places they are supposedly more popular i'd bet.

as a lowly cashier i get to watch people count money all ****ing day. most people use the wad method. you grab a giant wad of crumpled money and shift through it like you would the garbage. there are two main methods i've seen:
1) the gangster method - all their bills are stacked and folded in the center. they count the ends one at a time. suddenly, they get startled because they ended up counting twice the amount they thought they had since they're an idiot and started counting the other ends.
2) normal person - twist and turn bills around and switch between hands until a count has been made. arranging the bills in order from smaller to larger is considered polite.
the one aspect of money i find fascinating is the game of paying and receiving change. for example if a person owes $11.00, people will often pay $21.00 so they will get a $10 back instead of a $5 and four $1's.

That money is obviously fake. I wouldn't sell anything to the guy in the video.
On a more serious note. As someone who counts cash daily, it makes me think about it a lot.
And, even though the last way seems the best, as someone who uses that methond, you can still miss bills. So it's probably no more efficient than the other ways.

I use 2 other methods as well depending on the number and variety of bills present (canadian money has fun colours)

Some of those are interesting (the guy dropping money on the table to count it... lol :D ) But yea, the basic card counting method (the final one presented) seems most logical. To me, it even appears to work with non-uniform bills (euros), as long as you count the numbers instead of how many bills, which most of the other methods seem to do.

I count money the first or last method, the others seem impractical tbh.

This raises an interesting point. Since American money is all the same size and shape (and color until recently), we actually have to pay attention to what's printed on the bills. So how do these counting methods work with differently-sized bills? Are some better than others?
Maybe it's because I'm good at spatial awareness, but I always found it easier to deal with European currency because they're both different colors and different sizes than it was my own, native examples (up until recently in one way). Thus I didn't need to give more than a passing glance to know the difference between one pound and five just by size, let alone color and design.

Plus, some of it is (literally) washable, since it's not made from paper

That's really interesting...Unfortunately, as per the standard American stereotype, I've never been outside the country so I had no idea that there were so many different ways to count money. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.83 (Updated 7/3) |

Some of the ways shown you can't see the denomination of the bill your counting so unless the amount is printed on the bottom middle in those countrys then I don't buy it.

Like others already pointed out, unlike USD, a lot of other currencies have banknotes that are both of different colours and sizes for various denominations... you only need to see a small portion of the banknote to know what denomination it might be.
