Separate the coins into piles based on their type. Create individual piles for each coin type. All coins worth a certain amount should be grouped together.

Work with one coin type at a time. Pull one pile of a particular coin type in front of you. Put the rest of your change aside for now.

Create stacks of 10 coins each. Start creating short vertical piles,with each stack having 10 coins in it.

Count the number of stacks you have and multiply by 10. Look at your stacks of that coin type and count how many full stacks you have.

Multiply the total number of coins you have by the coin’s value. The number you get is the total amount of money you have in that coin type.

Factor in the leftover coins that didn’t make a full stack of 10.

Repeat this process for the other coin types you have. Make stacks of 10,count the stacks,then multiply by 10.

Add up the final amounts for each coin to get a total amount. Plug each coin type’s final amount into a calculator.

Roll your change as you get it. To avoid counting huge piles of coins,get coin wrappers from your local bank and roll the change yourself.
