lol :) ok :) here :) is :) what :) i :) do :) First, take out all the paper money from the register. Then, count everything starting with the pennies. 1. Count the pennies in the register, write it down. 2. Count the nickels, write down the number. 3. Count the dimes. 4. Count the quarters. 5. Count the Dollar bills. 6. Count the fives. 7. Count the ten's 8. Count the 20's 9. Count the big bills (50's, 100's) You write it all down. Now, add everything and round up the cents to the nearest dollar. Then, take out exactly enough cash from the paper money you took out earlier so this cash plus the change in the register would equal $200. So if you have $15 in coins (already in the register), you should take out $185 from your cash stash. Then take the rest of the money and put it away/deposit it/ or do whatever you do with it. Does that help? :( I train people at work to do this so... and make sure you write EVERYTHING DOWN anytime you have to count a set of money, WRITE IT! Record anything you count, it will keep you out of trouble. At the end of the activity, you should know the total's of -the money in the register (obviously 200) -the money in your hands (this is critical) -plus the "credit/debit/checks" receipt and the latter 2 should equal to the net total on the closing receipt you got from the register when you closed it :)

This is how you count down at the end of a shift: (Normally, when counting down, stores require you to leave 100.00 exactly in the register.) 1) Count your pennies, ending on a multiple of 5. Write this down. 2) Start from the number you ended with on pennies; count your nickels, ending on a multiple of 10 3) Start with the number you ended with on nickels; count your dimes, ending on a multiple of 50 4) Start with the number you ended with on dimes; count your quarters, ending on the nearest dollar ------then----- 5) Start with the number you ended with on quarters; count your ones, ending on a multiple of $5 6) Start with the number you ended with on ones; count your fives, ending on a multiple of $10 7) Start with the number you ended with on fives; count your tens until you reach $100.00. Then take all other cash above the 100 limit and store it with all the other change and bills that had to be taken out for rounding purposes, and put this where it is supposed to go. Initial the paper on which you wrote down your counting and leave it with the extra money. And then you have just counted down! (I hope this is what you were looking for)

It's different depending on where you work. Some jobs have you manually count everyone, others have a counter that weighs and figures out how much you have. Not to mention, some stores require anywhere from a $100 in the till to $200 like at my current job. In the case of manually counting it, start off with your change. Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, and Quarters. If you have rolls of change count that next. A roll of pennies is 50 cents, a roll of nickels is $2, dimes are $5, and quarters are $10. Next start on your bills: ones, fives, tens, twenties, and then big bills ($50 and $100s) if applicable. Once you are finished and have your total, you subtract that amount from what is supposed to be in the till. Example: your total is $347.46 and your drawer is supposed to have $200.00 (again, like my job). Take out $147.46. Generally, there is a calculator for you to add the money that has a roll of paper to print the numbers on. If you make a mistake, make sure to tell someone as soon as you catch it. Don't worry, it gets easier. =)
