Do you “arrange” your paper money?

Do you typically arrange your paper money/bills to face the same direction and by denomination in your pocket or wallet?

 

[Keerock]

I very rarely use cash anymore, but when I do, it's neatly arranged directionally and denominationally.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I definitely arrange it by denominations but not sure I really make the effort on alignment (facing same way).

Most of the time I'm not really carrying cash though, outside of a $20 bill in my phone case pocket.

 

[popeye]

for those who's devil may care attitude involves keeping their cash unsorted, let me be the first to say "get off my lawn wallet"

 

[RG623]

Denomination - yes
Directional - no

 

[belljr]

Of course, I'm not some weirdo.....

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Yes
Yes

 

[IvanKaramazov]

People who don't sort their currency are probably the same people who are sloppy about aligning the spines of all the books on their bookshelves. Just sheer barbarism.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Denomination - yes
Directional - no

This.

 

[belljr]

Sometimes, I'm a little lenient on direction as long as they are all "face up".

 

[-OZ-]

always have done both.
My current wallet has the cash showing on the outside, so the bills are arranged smallest to largest so the $1 bill is showing.

Of course. By height, color, thickness, or subject ?

 

[AAABatteries]

As stated in the thread about carrying cash I basically have no cash on my 95% of the time or more. But absolutely arrange it when I have any.

 

[Bogart]

Rarely carry cash, but yes when I do, fully arranged and just this side of sorting by serial number as well.

 

[Zow]

Wow, apparently I'm in the minority here. You people actually take the time to sort your cash?

OCD down?

It takes 10x more time sifting through a completely disorganized wallet every time to figure out how much money you've got than periodically doing it upfront. So on balance it's a time saver.

Ditto for not organizing credit, gift, membership cards and fumbling through all of them when trying to make a transaction.

I currently have 4 bills in my wallet.

 

[humpback]

What means "denomination"?

In typical FBG fashion I have a dozen or so benjis tucked in behind my Amex Black card to get me through the day (anyone else think modern tipping culture is out of control?). Don't bother arranging them as they don't stay very long.

My crypto wallets, on the other hand- don't get me started...

Not only that. Once I get more than five dollar bills, i section those by folding them together inside the other bills. So i know if I grab that group of bills it's $5

 

[dkp993]

Yes I’m not a psycho.

 

[Drunken knight]

generally not. I do not carry cash often. if i have large bills, i will make them less visible.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

always Faced and groups.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

It’s not like it takes hours.

 

[titusbramble]

Generally not, but our paper money actually comes in different colours and sizes in order to easily tell what it is, so there's no need to do so

 

[jamny]

Maybe not at all times since sometimes I just jam the change into my pocket after paying, but will sort when I have a moment later on.

 

[nirad3]

Typically? Yes. There will be times where things get disorganized but, for example, if I'm going out for a long weekend away with cash on hand I always make sure it's organized.

 

[dino259]

Of course, I'm not some weirdo.....

This!!!

 

[Keerock]

Eh?

My wallet simply has a magnetic clip and I just put the cash in that. I rarely carry around more than $100 and consider the cash in my wallet simply as petty cash so I really don't care to know a constant tally. Heck, I think my primary use for cash the last year or two is simply to pay bets and tip on the golf course.

 

[Zow]

I suppose.

It has truly never dawned on my though to organize the cash in my wallet. It's not like it takes hours to count it if/when I need to. And, again, I hardly ever have more than $100 so I just don't see the need for a regular accounting. If I'm buying something that requires cash (e.g. THC, something secondhand from somebody, certain restaurants/food trucks) then I just make sure I have enough ahead of time.

[glvsav37]

I try to, but I often just slide it into the wallet and then will rearrange after

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Yes.
Yes.

Personal carry: Big bills face up so when you fold the little bills show.

Re-up money- flat, $1,000 stacks with rubber bands.

 

[ChiefD]

I wrap a $100 bill around my big stack of $1's.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Good thing to do when sitting on the crapper and have nothing new to post.

Spoken like a true degenerate-

 

[Cjw_55106]

Yes
Yes

I cant stand it when a cashier gives me back bills going every which way. As with everyone else, bills are used less and less these days.

 

[Schmeabs]

Absolutely, start with 100's, then 50's, 20's, 10's, 5's, and finally 1's. I don't really care about the direction though.

 

[SWC]

what is a money take that to the bank brohans

 

[caustic]

Answered no. I rarely have more than 3 bills in my wallet at a given time, so it's not worth arranging them a particular way.

 

[TheWalkmen]

I bought the money counter that also batches and sorts the bills properly, so yes.

 

[Chris B.]

I have OCD so... yeah to both. I also put the older-looking/worn bills in front so they get spent first.

 

[TheFatKid]

Wow, apparently I'm in the minority here. You people actually take the time to sort your cash?

Yes and the pressure of sorting it and putting it back in your wallet after receiving change is immense. I can feel the eyes of the people waiting in line behind me boring into my head to hurry up and move on.

 

[El Floppo]

Denomination, yes. But not direction.

I'll be here staring blankly at my phone uncertain of how to vote all week. Try the veal.

 

[El Floppo]

But I keep 20s separate from smaller bills.

Efff em, I will take extra time if I catch someone behind me acting impatient.

 

[Gally]

of course. .......I am not a heathen.


(had to come up with a different word since weirdo and psycho were already taken)

 

[pollardsvision]

Personally, I do not. Never cared.
But for business deposits, the bank prefers cash to be oriented, so I do it for that.
