Count a mix of coins and bills and get your exact total instantly
💡 Why This Matters Counting a mixed pile of cash by hand is slow and easy to mess up. Sort your coins and bills into piles, count each pile, and let this tool do the arithmetic instantly and correctly.
The Federal Reserve estimates there's roughly $2.3 trillion in U.S. currency in circulation — and despite digital payments taking over, cash still accounts for about 1 in 5 transactions in the U.S.

Each denomination's quantity is multiplied by its face value — 7 quarters is 7 × $0.25 = $1.75 — and every denomination's total is added together for the grand total. It's the same arithmetic as counting by hand, just faster and error-free.
The total reflects exactly what you entered — no rounding surprises, since every denomination has an exact value. If your count doesn't match what you expected (like a till that should balance to a known amount), the discrepancy is in the physical count, not the math.
This calculator assumes standard current U.S. coin and bill denominations at face value. It doesn't account for collector or numismatic value (rare coins can be worth far more than face value), foreign currency, or rolled/bagged coin counts.
Sort your cash into piles by denomination before counting — it's much faster than counting a mixed pile and reduces the chance of miscounting. This tool is handy for balancing a cash register, counting a piggy bank, splitting cash for an event, or any time you need an exact total fast.
Example: You have 3 twenty-dollar bills, 2 five-dollar bills, 7 quarters, and 15 dimes. Bills: (3 × $20) + (2 × $5) = $60 + $10 = $70. Coins: (7 × $0.25) + (15 × $0.10) = $1.75 + $1.50 = $3.25. Total = $70 + $3.25 = $73.25.
For each denomination, the quantity you enter is multiplied by its face value, then all the denomination totals are added together for the grand total.
Yes — enter any combination of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and $1 through $100 bills in the same calculation, and the total reflects everything you've counted.
Yes — sort your cash into piles by denomination first, count each pile, then enter the quantities here for a fast, error-free total instead of doing the arithmetic by hand.
