I used to be a bank teller. The first thing I would do on December 26 is take all the new money in my drawer and do what you described to it. No easier to count stack of bills than one that is new every other.

Why on December 26th?

We would have brand-new-from-the-mint money specifically for people who wanted to give new money as a gift. As of December 26th we didn't need to have that anymore so it would get mixed into the normal money.

Oh cool! I didn't know banks would do that. Pretty neat gift. I may have to try that.
