slo’s MONDAY 9/23 poll - Organizing Cash Money 💴

[Forevermarypoppins]

I am a former bank teller of long ago. It was all part of our duties too have the currency in face order.
YES, I like my money in face and numerical order!!

 

[NannyBeBe]

I do carry cash with me, in denomination order and facing the same way. I keep twenties and tens on one side of my wallet and fives and ones on the other side.

 

[lovesmurfs]

It's so odd. When I first started working and had a register, facing cash was so, so important that I used in it my private life -- just got in the habit. I also sort by amount.

Now when I get cash from the ATM that's NOT facing it drives me nuts and I have to reorganize. I guess maybe automated counting got better?

Funny what things bother me as I age. "Hey kids, get off my lawn!"

I organize by dollar amount and facing the same way, but I am surprised you go to a bank to cash your check! We use direct deposit or mobile deposit, the only reason I go into a bank is if I need a few 5's because the ATM only gives 50, 20, 10,and 1's. And that's pretty rare that I need cash, mostly when we travel or I need small bills to give the people playing music at the farmer's market on Saturday

I don't mind going to the bank - I kinda like it actually.
My work doesn't do direct deposit, and I don't like mobile deposit, because then I can't get cash back.
I don't like ATMs because I like my cash back a certain way. When I go to the bank to cash my check, I write on a post it note, how I want the cash back, because I like more small bills then big bills.
I am sounding really high maintenance right now

I organize my cash by denomination and always facing the same way. I like having cash, it boggles my mind that some people don’t have cash on them.

I get that, we rarely use cash except for a few tips for luggage and lounge service when traveling, so I maybe walk over to the ATM 4 times a year. It lets me choose most denominations, but once a year I might go in and ask for 5's that I can't get at the ATM. I just went Saturday and got out $600 in $20's for DH's dive trip, lots of cash tips needed there.

No, what you are saying makes sense. Our ATM at the bank only issues twenties, so to get any amount that can’t be divided by 20 or to get smaller or larger bills, I have to go inside. I did direct deposit when I was working, but I would stop a couple of times per month to get cash out (we got paid weekly).

 

[amcnj]

I tend to organize bills facing the same way and in denomination order. It can get disorganized when at something like a street festival when there is lots of cash activity in a short amount of time.

I use credit cards whenever possible. But from time to time still have some transactions requiring cash.

 

[John VN]

Place bills on a table and stack with face up to the right beginning $1.00 - $5.00 - $10.00 - $20.00 - $50.00 - $100.00

Fold in half or thirds so $1.00 bill showing.

What is this cash thing you are talking about?

Do you tap it when paying or is this why the slide slot is there in the payment terminal?

I take it you just walk out when you walk into a cash only business? Drove from California to Texas and back last year, and it was an interesting mix, specifically in restaurants of credit card only, cash only, surcharge if you used a credit card restaurants.
We have booked a Princess Land/Sea 14 day package for next year. Trying to figure out how much cash to take. The first 7 days are motor coach tours, suggested tip of $7 to $9 per day per person for the tour guide, cash only. So I will need $100 to $126 cash there. There will be a handful of meals not included, and I want to be prepared for the need for some cash there. The ship portion of course is cashless, but the ports, 2 U.S. and 2 Canadian I want to be prepared. I do have about $100 cash Canadian, unfortunately much of it is in paper currency that is no longer considered legal tender in Canada.
In the past i would take $700 per week cash on vacations, not sure what to do now and of course this is two weeks, not one.

 

[mommasita]

I am so bad at this. I use debit for about 99.9% of everything. I “may” have the occasional 20 or whatever in my phone wallet, it is terribly crumbled and looks terrible at all times. It can often sit there for months, that is how often I use cash.

I don’t think I have ever walked into a cash only business.

If I happened to, I would have to leave because I would have no way to pay.

This past weekend was the HOA approved yard sale weekend. Most people had signs saying they accepted CashApp, Venmo, Zelle, etc.

Cash is dead.

 

[wabbott]

I do this before I put any money in my wallet.

 

[Babs Johnson]

Why do buttholes ask stupid questions like “what is this cash thing you speak of?”

Because they’re buttholes.

 

[The Mayor]

Oh ya I'm OCD when it comes to the money in my wallet. Must be in order by the amount of the bill and facing the same way. It's not that difficult these days now that I'm retired and carry very little cash on me. I most use my debit or credit card.

I guess my sense of humor does not match yours.

Csnansdisn paper bills are not accepted in Canada?

 

[fly girl]

I like my money in proper order. Smallest to largest in denomination, all facing the same way. Worked as a cashier and I was fastidious about my till.

Csnansdisn paper bills are not accepted in Canada?

My guess is that their currency is similar to British Pound and that does expire. I had old bills I tried to use years ago at a pub and they wouldn't take them.

You may be able to exchange it, but my paper money wasn't much and not worth the hassle.

I did not know this either. From the Bank of Canada website -

Since January 1, 2021, the Canadian $1, $2, $25, $500 and $1,000 bank notes are no longer considered legal tender. Essentially, this means that you may not be able to use them in cash transactions.

Don’t worry—these bank notes have not lost their face value. Here are your options:

• redeem your bank notes for face value at your financial institution;
• redeem your bank notes for face value by submitting a claim to us;

Some bank notes, such as the $25 and $500, may be worth significantly more than their face value to collectors.
