Money Counter Formula
T = \sum (B_i \times V_i) + \sum (C_j \times v_j)
Where:
T is the total amount of money. B_i is the number of bills of type i, and V_i is the face value of that bill. C_j is the number of coins of type j, and v_j is the face value of that coin. You multiply each count by its face value and add every result together to get the total.
The total bills value is the sum of every bill count times its value, the total coins value is the sum of every coin count times its value, and the grand total is the two added together.

Example Problem
You have 3 twenty dollar bills, 4 five dollar bills, and 1 one dollar bill in cash, plus 6 quarters and 8 dimes in coins. Find the total.
Bills value is (3 x 20) + (4 x 5) + (1 x 1) = 60 + 20 + 1 = 81 dollars.
Coins value is (6 x 0.25) + (8 x 0.10) = 1.50 + 0.80 = 2.30 dollars.
The total money is 81 + 2.30 = $83.30, made up of 22 pieces.
FAQ
What does a money counter calculator do? It adds up the value of cash by multiplying how many of each bill and coin you have by that denomination value, then summing the results into one total.
Can I count only coins or only bills? Yes. Use the Count selector to switch to Bills only or Coins only, and the fields you do not need are hidden.
How do I count a coin jar quickly? Sort the coins into piles by type, count how many are in each pile, enter those amounts in the matching coin fields, and the calculator returns the total value.
