I saw this video posted up on John’s blog and thought it was pretty interesting. Some of the different ways that people count money around the world just don’t make as much sense to me as the way that I count my money, which isn’t exactly like the way it is depicted for North Americans in the video.
Then again, seeing how I can be considered a dot com entrepreneur, I don’t really deal all that much with physical cash anymore. It’s all about numbers on a computer screen and lines in a credit card bill. The only time that I deal with a large amount of cash would probably be when I play poker, but even then, I’m small potatoes compared to some of the other people at the table.
But I digress. I’d love to hear from some international readers as to whether the above video is accurate. Jorge? Etienne? Your thoughts?
I certainly don’t count money the way it was depicted as Singaporean do in the video.
My personal counting style is more like that of America & Canada as shown in the video.
What has the title of this post gotta do with the video?
Andrew Jackson is the name of the US President on the $20 bill, which happens to be featured in the video.
I do count my money the way the video depicts for America/Canada.
What is on the bills shown in the video? I haven’t watched it again yet to see what is printed on the bills.
I count my money like the last part… except starting from my right hand … (canadian lol)
these days I mostly see my money on computer screens also .. but I do count it when I use the ATM
