How to Count Mixed Money (Bills and Coins)
Start with the Bills
Bills are the easiest to count because each one is worth a whole number of dollars.
- Look at the pile and identify each bill (e.g., $1, $5, $10).
- Group bills of the same kind together.
- Add the bills first to get a dollars total.
Count the Coins Next
Once the bills are totaled, move on to the coins.
- Quarter = 25¢
- Dime = 10¢
- Nickel = 5¢
- Penny = 1¢
A helpful strategy is to:
Start with the highest‑value coins (quarters),
… then add dimes, then nickels, then pennies.
This keeps the counting organized and reduces mistakes.
