What Money Counter / Cash Counter does, with a checked example
A cash drawer becomes a single amount only after every denomination has a piece count. Select the currency, enter how many notes or coins you have in each corresponding row, and the counter totals their face values. It is intended for physical cash, so each entry is a quantity rather than a monetary amount. The common mistake is entering 20 in the $20 row to represent $20; that entry means twenty $20 bills and contributes $400.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Currency: USD
$20 bills: 2
$5 bills: 3
$0.25 coins: 8
$0.10 coins: 4
All other denominations: 0
->
The bills contribute 2 x $20 + 3 x $5 = $55.00. The coins contribute 8 x $0.25 + 4 x $0.10 = $2.40, producing a combined total of $57.40.
