<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 809268, member: 19065"]It used to be common for bank tellers to 'bank face' (order all notes in the same rotation, face up showing banks/districts names on the face) for all of the notes in their drawer and to some degree this extended to cashiers. This was part of how a neat and orderly till was kept, which facilitated manual counting and a pleasant presentation to the customer or a deposit back to a bank by a business. It seems to be getting rarer and rarer to find this common courtesy extended to customers by tellers, cashiers and even ATM machines dispensing notes in mixed rotation. Because of this I usually need a moment longer to recheck my cash or change.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I receive notes from the bank (teller or ATM) or in everyday cash transactions, I always take a moment to look over my notes for SNs, stars, etc, but also 'bank face' my paper and even go so far as to organize them in order of districts from 1 to 12. Whenever I search rolls, because I am checking them all anyway, I face the heads all the same direction when I re-roll them. Coins that I store in protective tubes also are stacked in the same way.
