How to count money, cash ,bills in Japan - Vertical Counting (Tate-Yomi)

Описание: Let's see how to do "vertical counting"

(50pcs or 100pcs?)
Some people count 50 notes at a time and some people count 100 notes at a time.
There is no standard, and the number is different, even among banks.
Here, we recommend 50 notes to start with.

If you try to count 100pcs in vertical counting, that means you need to count the same with horizontal counting and that is not very easy.

(How to hold notes)
Now, here is how to hold the notes. Hold it in your hand vertically and wave it like a snake to make it slide a little bit.
Next, bend the notes and put it in-between your middle finger and ring finger.
The notes shouldn't fall off even if you make it up side down but at the same time, relax your fingers and try to hold it gently so you can count smoothly.

(which way to slide)
Now, when you start counting, which way to slide a note?
Slide down? or Slide sideways? either is fine but the difference is how you could "feel" and find your mistake. Please try both ways and see if you could notice when you counted 2 pcs by mistake. If you slide down 2 pcs toghether then you may feel little bit heavy, If you slide sideways then you may feel strange by its thickness. Sliding diagonally is also ok.
Anyway please bear in your mind ane be careful that sometimes the note is sticking toghether.

(why you need to flip with ring finger?)
Now let's see how you use your ring finger.
When you hit the note by ring finger you will hear small sound like "pi-shi!"
Very nice small sounds but this is to check that you are counting only 1 piece of note.
So this means , you are double checking with sliding a note and hitting a note.
You may feel uncertain if you don't hit the note by ring finger

(smashing the note at the end)
At the end of vertical counting. people tends to make a big smash sounds by hitting last note.
It is like a ceremony of finishing counting. To make this sounds bigger, you may hang the ring finger to middle finger and release.

We went through the "vertical counting" You will need some practice for faster and reliable counting.
