Cash float and takings counter

Two people count the same cash separately, note by note and coin by coin. Any pile where they disagree gets flagged, so you recount that pile, not the whole box.

The event
The float, before you open

Two people count the float separately, one in each column. Red Cross suggests at least $50 in coins for a sausage sizzle.
