Cash counter
Enter how many of each bill and coin you have. You get the total, the number of pieces and their combined weight.

The counter adds up bills ($1 to $100) and coins (penny to dollar coin) and shows the total value, how many pieces that is and how much they weigh together. The weight is a cross-check: if you weigh your pile on a scale and it is far from the number shown, a count is probably wrong.
Bills are counted at about one gram each (Bureau of Engraving and Printing) and coins at their U.S. Mint weights. Real piles differ a little because coins wear and a scale has its own error, so treat the weight as a rough check, not a proof.
