In banks, post offices, and grocery stores there is a constant need to keep accurate records of each transaction that passes through the teller or checkout register. In retails stores the same type of accounting practices are essential to manage the sums of cash, checks, and credit cards that are used by consumers to make purchases. Behind the scenes in each of these institutions are financial clerks who are responsible for counting each and every bill and coin that comes into their hands and matching the register receipts to the actual amounts that are tabulated at the beginning and end of the day.
Often hidden away in some enclosed room that is protected with a dual security door and monitored with cameras by managers and asset protection personnel the two of three individuals that are trusted to make certain the books are correct are required to keep a certain amount of cash on hand in the store or bank and deposit the remaining funds. Using armed guards and armored vehicles to transfer the currency from the public location to the banking vaults those who are responsible for the incoming monetary funds, rely not only on their own tabulations to make certain that they have added up the dollars and cents correctly, they also run each stack of bills through a money counter to determine the exact amounts that are to be delivered to the bank and what will stay behind at the store.
Separating each denomination into a unique stack the singles; fives; tens; twenties; fifties; and hundreds are first recorded by hand and added by calculator, then placed into the money counter which has electronic eye to register each note individually and even determine which type of bill is being processed. If someone mistakenly places a one dollar bill into the machine inside a stack of twenties the counter would catch it and report the total amount of the money run through the device.
Once separated, counted, and recounted the cash is placed into a bank bag where it is padlocked to await the security personnel that will transfer it to the bank. Accompanied by a receipt that indicates the exact amount of money in the bag the personnel at the retailer then count the money that will be stored in the onsite safe and eventually placed into the drawers at each register to make change for customers that are purchasing items. During peak shopping seasons like the month from the day after Thanksgiving to the night before Christmas it is not unusual for a large retail operation to see $200,000 or more in sales going through the cash registers and that is when having reliable equipment make counting the deposits by hand easier.
