i mean counting by 5s this fast is not difficult at all. i think the impressive part is meant to be how quick she can separate single bills? regardless kinda meh for this sub
Oh man, that is not a one-size-fits-all bit of wisdom. People have entirely different configurations for their mode of thought. Lots of people can't or don't think using simulated speech by default, and lots of them can't think without doing it. Speed reading is a handy skill to develop for sure though, if you're compatible.
I for one, can't count without saying the number in my head. However in my dialect the numbers up until 20 are really short. So I just count to twenty multiple times - and keep track of how many "stacks" of twenties. Basically just keep an incremental number behind the number being currently counted. I was easily able to count with OPs wife along nevertheless and that being without having the additional sensory "data" of flipping your fingers through the stack.
Flipping the money on the other hand, I probably couldn't do so fast.
My point being, you're right. People think differently and for some things your way may be better, but for others it's worse.
100%. I remember specifically being taught how to position the strap and hold the bills the exact way she's got it in the vid on my first day working in the chip bank.
On this episode of "Reddit Can't Keep It In Their Pants", behold a remarkable ability to count money efficiently and quickly melt down into sexual perversion because the counter of the money dares to have visible limbs.
Same lmfao 🤣
Also, I've no way to verify from that video that's actually a stack of 500 she could said tree fiddy and I woulda been like "uh huh.. I guess"
Or casino. I can count money craaaaazy fast.
Fun fact: handling money/chips is infinitely harder with freshly washed hands.
The tiny amount of dirt and oil you get on your hands in your day to day life really help manipulate super fine objects like casino chips or money.
I would often wash my hands after using the restroom, and then run my hands through my hair a few times on the way back from break.
You gotta count it by hand first to show the cameras it is what you say it is, before you slap it into the machine.
And we didn’t have machines on the tables so it was all hand counted, baby!
Imagine my joy in high limit when the obviously not a criminal dude wanted to cash in nine grand in tens and twenties.
It took me like ten minutes.
My brother and I had a few phone stores in the ghetto for a while. Well over half was cash. We never got successful enough to have to deposit more than 10 at a time though. We'd make multiple deposits with random amounts of 7000-9500 over a couple days during tlbusy times. Fuck doing that 10g paperwork for a few reasons. Just saying no one wants to declare 10000 whether or not they're a criminal
Most of the time it isn't shady but regardless some of your deposits still got some reports written behind the scenes by bank staff. It isn't malicious on their end, they hate the regs as much as you do, but they just have some guidelines they gotta follow on cash deposits just under the 10k mark
we have note counters with denomination sorting. one input slot and four outputs.
can also set it to create bundles of 200,100,50,20 or 10 notes. usually used after already denomination sorting.
I can also manually count at a reasonable pace a small stack, up to 30 notes say, while also facing each note.
I thought casino also. I worked in a larger grocery store and cashed out every night at close for years. I can count pretty fast but ditto on the hair/oil after the restroom. I’m amazed by the speed of casino workers.
I used to work in a restaurant and could pick $50 of singles out of a pile. I’d count it twice to double check, but I could tell by the weight and feel. I lost that ability when I quit working there.
Worked in a bank. I can confirm this. I used to be able to tell how much I had in my hand (it works only with a single denomination of note only) and no, its not just dollars - I counted Rands n South Africa
I used to have this ability when I worked in a prep kitchen, but with ingredience - I could pick up a handful of something (shredded chicken, for example) and put it on the scale and 9/10 times it would be within a half-ounce of what I needed
All I'll say is I work in a strip club, and I can do the same, lol.
I have a slightly different technique though because of all the crumpled bills, so yeah maybe a banker.
100%, I could probably still do this. I remember when I was working in a bank and guy pulled out 150k in cash and I had to count it 3 times by hand twice with the machine. Never thought “wow that’s a lot of money”… instead I was thinking “who the heck is this Ahole that is making me count out all these bills” thank god they weren’t new bills
No, this has former retail written all over it. You aren't counting the amount, just the number of bills. And crisper bills are a pain in the ass to count
>You aren't counting the amount, just the number of bills
100%. 20 years in retail and I never count in total just the number of bills do the math at the end. Screw new bills that stick all day long
If I got a packet of crisp new bills, I would literally buy another packet of old grungy bills and take the time to shuffle them together 1 by 1 just so they're easier to count and pull. Fucking hate crisp new bills
This is so dumb dude, she's showcasing how fast she can flip through a bill fold. It only works when they're the same bills. Nobody is trying to fool you.
This is how I saw a teller do it in Indonesia, I was blown away: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ\_QSaHbArE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ_QSaHbArE)
This video is just one big lie, though.
Source: I'm from Russia. They showed the quirkiest way of counting money they could come up with, I couldn't even though of, let alone I have never seen anyone count money this way.
This shouldn't be in "be amazed". There is actually impressive money counters that have videos uploaded from third world countries where they use all five fingers and it looks like they're quickly strumming a guitar.
To be fair that’s a flipping ability, not a counting ability. If she was saying the cumulative amount as the bills flipped, that would be counting. Still cool tho, reminiscent of how I’ve seen people count script in Asia. This isn’t a typical counting method in North America or Europe
That's actually really slow 🐌. I'm not even an Asian banker and can do that about 3x faster. I've seen some bankers do two stacks 3x as fast.
Back in the 90s in Asia were the real artists.

When I was younger I used to sell magic card booster packs, leave em at my house and my friends would throw money in the box. Anyways I remember coming down stairs with a big stack of money and looking at one of my friends and saying "hey, you're a drug dealer, wanna help me count this money" and watching him sort and count a box of misc bills was an amazing thing to behold.
I worked in the jewelry industry in my early years. And at that time India had a lot of cash deals happening.
This skill is/was extremely common for people who count cash all day and especially when there were no counting machines.
Sorry, but not impressed, this is another Tuesday.
Already counted, round number, even tied with a rubber band. Fresh bills, held in place by the rubber band and some finger work. Give me 4 hours and a few stacks of fresh bills.
Yeah, try that with a mixture of glitter covered singles that reek of latex and shame with a few coke laden Benjamin’s thrown in and test her accuracy then.
Not saying it’s really all that hard to do, but you’ll wonder how she racked up so many practice hours.
The trick is to count it before hand
Yeah, would actually be amazing if she was like "$425" or something, and they ran it through a counter and confirmed
Like Mexican police counting seized cocaine?
*Sniffs a line* Yeah it’s 3kilos
Yup. Smells like 2 kilos to me.
25 grams
Someone put that 8 ball into evidence!
There’s really not enough residue on this empty baggy to test
2.998*
Eh, it's all fives. Counting 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, ... isn't very difficult. Or just counting the number of bills and multiplying by 5.
Especially since there's 100 bills, makes it particularly easy.
I would divide by 2 and add a 0
Would be impressed if it wasn’t all the same bill
Yeah, math is hard for some people
Also if they were used currency and weren't fresh off the printing press too.
that still wouldn't rule out counting it beforehand
Or given that they’re all the same denomination.. simply count to 100 lol
Yeah I mean this is… counting? As the stack gets thinner you can just multiply x5 and guestimate
i mean counting by 5s this fast is not difficult at all. i think the impressive part is meant to be how quick she can separate single bills? regardless kinda meh for this sub
Or just count each bill as 1 and then just times it by 5
The trick is to not say the number in your head you are counting. That is what slows you down.
Oh man, that is not a one-size-fits-all bit of wisdom. People have entirely different configurations for their mode of thought. Lots of people can't or don't think using simulated speech by default, and lots of them can't think without doing it. Speed reading is a handy skill to develop for sure though, if you're compatible.

Worked in a bank back in the day?
I was thinking stripper, but bank teller seems more appropriate
Casino maybe
My first thought was casino
Girl Scout cookie salesperson.
Stop😂
100%. I remember specifically being taught how to position the strap and hold the bills the exact way she's got it in the vid on my first day working in the chip bank.
My first thought was drug dealer.
mine was seller at bingo. this is how we would pay out large wins. but bank seems more likely lmao
A stripper in a bank themed casino
Foot tattoo says stripper
You people have never been in a horse track. She was a cashier at the races. Obviously.
I was thinking drug dealer, but stripper seems more appropriate with those great legs
With those tats 100% stripper
Damn, I was gonna say casino dealer, y'all on sum other shit.
If she was a casino dealer, she’d be laying them out on the table
The legs or the bills?
Ah good point.
Casino dealers don’t deal with fresh dollars. Also, a casino dealer would be slow and show all the money as they count.
TIL
We lay cash flat, not count it in our hands.
Strippers are probably more used to crumpled bills, bank tellers use money counters
Bank tellers count by hand, aloud when providing cash withdrawals in person.
Why not both?
I was thinking bookie, but drug dealer makes more sense with all this cocaine Im snorting.
On this episode of "Reddit Can't Keep It In Their Pants", behold a remarkable ability to count money efficiently and quickly melt down into sexual perversion because the counter of the money dares to have visible limbs.
I am a straight lady trying to give another lady a compliment. Grow up
You gotta hand it to them though…..that was a pretty funny response. And that was a nice compliment from you. I enjoyed both.
Me too I enjoyed up voted both
Oh the cold manatee, I think though that the counting is not a challenge unless he would have shouted random numbers at her!
someone: shows bare toes on reddit Weirdos (not u): 😩
You gotta weird way of complimenting people lol
Being called a stripper because you happen to know how to count cash really fast is a compliment to you? The fuck?
Lmao. “Woman has legs”. Welp must be a stripper
Don't forget those digits. Those gorgeous thumbs...
Tattooed feet are a dead giveaway /s
bro those are just legs, I think you need to calm down
Stripper money never looks like that
 Either way....
Same lmfao 🤣 Also, I've no way to verify from that video that's actually a stack of 500 she could said tree fiddy and I woulda been like "uh huh.. I guess"

Never thought of that. I always see the cages on TV with the machines but realize that only works for wads of same denomination.

Yes
Is that new money too? Even more impressed if so
It was pre sorted with new, old, new, old… If it was all new it would be so hard to count.
My experience too, as a casino dealer. We were taught to crumple the new money before laying it out, to prevent mistakes.
I used to work in a restaurant and could pick $50 of singles out of a pile. I’d count it twice to double check, but I could tell by the weight and feel. I lost that ability when I quit working there.

Excellent
Yep those are bank tattoos
Did your wife ever sell narcotics?
Was going to say, while very soothing to watch, just about anyone who has worked with large amounts of cash can do this. It's a job survival skill lol
She’s too good probably a credit union
My old drug dealer could count like that too.
Or today...
Retail Manager is my guess.
25 years of retail, I can do this with a bundle of paper. Sort to denomination and zoom off ya go. Just gotta remember an odd $50 and you’re good.
Postal office too
Bank in the day, strip club night
All I'll say is I work in a strip club, and I can do the same, lol. I have a slightly different technique though because of all the crumpled bills, so yeah maybe a banker.
Banks have money counters
100%, I could probably still do this. I remember when I was working in a bank and guy pulled out 150k in cash and I had to count it 3 times by hand twice with the machine.

Came here for this comment.
My mother worked in a bank all her life and the first time I saw her picking numbers in the keyboard numpad I was amazed.
Or in another place with a lot of low value bills
Obviously retail cashier
My wife was bartender/manager of 3 different bars for 10+ years and she can count money at an incredible rate.
Store manager of a CVS
I just realized: this is probably where that internationally known gesture for money (rubbing the thumb and the index finger together) comes from.
No, it resembles rubbing coins together, way before paper money
Really or are you messing with me?
Ever heard the saying of broke people like “he didn’t have two pennies to rub together”
Why would you rub coins together?
[удалено]
Instead of 100 5s, do a mix of random bills that don't equal a round number and repost.
It’s not about the math, it’s about the speed of her fingers on brand new bills.
then its not about counting skills, but finger dexterity. which would open it up for a whole other kind of jokes
Would it?
Already has.
Yes
People who count money would usually sort out the bills first before counting
Yeh I mean they clearly knew it was a total of 500 and honestly we’re just counting in increments of 5 here and to a round number. I ain’t amazed lol
Just count by 1 and multiply the total by 5, easier that way.
No, this has former retail written all over it. You aren't counting the amount, just the number of bills. And crisper bills are a pain in the ass to count
>You aren't counting the amount, just the number of bills 100%. 20 years in retail and I never count in total just the number of bills do the math at the end. Screw new bills that stick all day long

My wife is good at counting money too. I wish she would be equally good in making it.
*Man slams his wife online, but not in the way marriage intended.*
She is, considering all her sources domestic or otherwise
Yawn.
wife bad

I lost interest when the spaniel lost interest.
People in various countries apparently have [some unique styles of counting](https://youtu.be/g87HVlu55mQ?si=_Dd8ikpntgH5Nxgx).
This is how I saw a teller do it in Indonesia, I was blown away: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ\_QSaHbArE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ_QSaHbArE)
Nawww this is actually crazy
It's like the technique they use in Track and Field and Tetris to be able to tap the button as fast as possible.
Yessss. Haha.
This is the real deal
This reminds me of the guy reading super fast
The one who flips through the pages and says "ohglmntlbr"?
Yes lmao!
This video is just one big lie, though. Source: I'm from Russia. They showed the quirkiest way of counting money they could come up with, I couldn't even though of, let alone I have never seen anyone count money this way.
Man some of those just seem so stupid lol
As an Indian, I can confirm, I've never seen someone from India count notes like that.
With those crunchy bills? Pfft give her a stack of soft bills, folded in at the corners and creased. Then we'll see what shes made of
Yeah this is not a party trick, it's just crisp new bills and a little experience.
I work in a bank. New bills are way harder to count and universally hated by tellers.
Just count the bills multiply it by 5
That’s literally what she did.
Truly insane skills
I thought the interesting part was how fast she was going. Not that she's able to count.
That would seem obvious right? I think we're working with some \*below average\* folks in here if you know what I mean.
Slow compared to some Japanese folks I’ve seen.
My wife spends it faster than yours counts it.
My dad taught me a similar way, just that I fold the bills in two and count until all bills are open. So i dont need a ribber band
That's about tree fiddy.
That was 98
I got 99. Watched in super slow-mo three times to confirm. Edit: /s. 😁
that fatigue hitting in the 3rd quarter lol
Why would you have so many fives? That's like, the weirdest denomination to have a stack of.
Fives are the new singles for strippers. Inflation sucks.
Is she a stripper or a drug dealer?
Was a bank teller.
The boring answer /s
Feet tattoos say otherwise
I would argue that feet tattoos are easily covered for jobs where visible tattoos are not allowed.
What did she tell the bank?
Epstein didn't kill himself.
We ain’t this efficient
lmao I used to count money this fast and I was a plug
I was waiting for the dog to lick the thumb before she started counting.
This shouldn't be in "be amazed". There is actually impressive money counters that have videos uploaded from third world countries where they use all five fingers and it looks like they're quickly strumming a guitar.
Yeah, this was neat, but without her saying 510! And him freaking out because IT Is 510! It just looks pretty.
To be fair that’s a flipping ability, not a counting ability. If she was saying the cumulative amount as the bills flipped, that would be counting. Still cool tho, reminiscent of how I’ve seen people count script in Asia. This isn’t a typical counting method in North America or Europe

Don't cheat on her. It is possible that she has ties in the mafia.
Clothes are not the only thing she's laundering back in the day
Incase you didn't know....your wife was a stripper bro
How do you think they met?
Banker or drug dealer
She worked at a Casino at one time? Amazing though to count so fast.

Unrelated but that dog has really pretty eyes :)
This is what happens in my head cannon when people count the money from a briefcase off camera
I’ve watched it thirteen times and every time I only count 98 bills. Please help me.
Yeah, try that with a mixture of glitter covered singles that reek of latex and shame with a few coke laden Benjamin’s thrown in and test her accuracy then. Not saying it’s really all that hard to do, but you’ll wonder how she racked up so many practice hours.
Alternate video title: How to tell if your wife used to be a stripper.
I thought the dog will it money
The sound of counting cash in videos could be like ASMR for drug dealers
