Naturally it became easy and fast to count coins and I could
wrap them in a split second if I had to.

You count 2 coins at a time, say quarters you move two at a
time and count 50 1 50 2 50 3. Easy to line up in your hand
and slide into a roll, though we didn't wrap much coin at a
savings and loan.

No, we didn't count it in front of the customer. That's what
the account number was for, when we got around to using that coin,
we'd count it before it went into our drawer.
