From NetEase:
Assaulted Woman Receives 100,000 Coins As Compensation, 18 Bank Employees Spend All Day Counting Without Finishing

[Above] August 15th, the Kunming city downtown branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China processing a deposit for Ms. Wu. The 8 bags of 1 jiao [10 cent] coins Ms. Wu brought totaled 10,000 yuan, taking 18 bank employees working from 9am till 6pm to process only over 5000 yuan of it. Ms. Wu says this was the compensation delivered to her by the person who had assaulted her after she and her husband won the lawsuit.



2012 September, Ms. Wu was dining at a rice noodle restaurant. Due to the bowl being a little dirty, she had asked to exchange her bowl, but the restaurant employee refused to exchange it. After Ms. Wu and the owner negotiated, the owner agreed to give her a refund. After Ms. Wu exited the restaurant, a restaurant worker ran out afterward saying Ms. Wu had failed to give them 5 kuai, with a scuffle breaking out between the two. Ms. Wu received a brain contusion and her husband suffered three broken ribs. Afterward, Ms. Wu took the rice noodle restaurant to court. 2013 June, the court ruled that the rice noodle restaurant compensate Ms. Wu 68,000 yuan RMB [in damages]. After the ruling, the restaurant first paid 38,000 yuan through the lawyer. Around 5pm on August 9th, the person in charge of the restaurant called Ms. Wu notifying her to go pick up 10,000 yuan in compensation.





Ms. Wu picked up 8 bags of 1 jiao coins, asked two banks but neither could handle processing the coins. It wasnt until the morning of August 15th that the Kunming city downtown branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China could process Ms. Wus deposit.

That is stupid approach, not to mention labour intensive and prone to faults! The best bet would be to weigh the coins and calculate their actual worth and quantity, that would save a lot of time and resource.

Not quite!...Even if you know how much of a worth , those coins still have to be individually counted and wrapped for distribution.

erm, coinstar actually calculates the value by weight, but in this case where you have tens of thousands of coins, you need something much more scalable.

I agree, thinking the same way. Dislike by mistake.

No one counts them individually.
You weigh them and pack them or its done automatically.
I agree with you to count them by machines or manualy, but they still have to be wrapped in bundles of, say 50 or 100
Here in Canada, this is how coins are wrapped:
Punnies 50 .50cents
nickles 40 2.00 dollars
dimes 50 5.00 dollars
quarters 40 10.00 dollars

They are not wrapped here.
They are put in small plastic bags after weighing them.
