<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 7499548, member: 2098&quot;]Yeah, no. I&#039;m not wasting my time or the teller&#039;s time to count out a measly $100 in singles by hand in front of them. You&#039;re actually far more likely to goof up counting by hand than when a machine is used, anyway. And what if you buy a larger volume? Imagine insisting on hand counting $500 or $1,000 in ones in front of the teller.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, when they bring out ones that are already nicely strapped, I will tell them not to bother counting them out (by machine or otherwise). Usually they will insist to machine count when it is $2 or above. I&#039;m okay with that if it makes them feel better but when it comes to ones I just do not care.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I have been shorted before. Once in circa 2009 I was shorted $10 in ones from a teller whom in I suspect intentionally shorted me to avoid coming up short herself. Okay. So one bum teller in 15 years of searching. Otherwise, it&#039;s been at most $1-2 but even that is very rare.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is an apple and orange analogy. It varies by design but when a currency-counting machine is dusty or needs to be serviced a teller will typically have to frequently place bills from the reject slot back to the top to be run through again.</p><p><br /></p><p>That, or the machine will stop counting mid-bill and the teller will need to place it back at the top. No matter what, the machines don&#039;t go off count by over counting what is there. On a super rare occasion a teller will miss retrieving a note from the machine when bills are verified. This is most likely what happened with the OP. This comes down to human error than machine error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
