about 15 minutes--stacks of 10, sets of 10. Each set of 10 was 1 dollar. Line 'em up, count. When we finished, we dumped them in a bank bag. The bank took them, ran them through their change counter. We were their third largest customer so they didn't fuck with us.
To answer your first question, the pennies came in rolled, we opened the rolls and counted. The lady that did the drawer-counts accepted our total for the pennies so balancing the drawer didn't take any more time.
