Separate currency (paper bills) by denomination into stacks of 20 and secure with rubber band. For stacks containing less than 20 bills, secure with a paper clip.
Note: Any cash payment in excess of $10,000 resulting from the University's trade or business must be reported to the University's Tax Department using IRS Form 8300.

Separate coins by denomination: use pre-printed coin wrappers only if you have enough coins to fill the wrapper completely.
Note: Fill coin wrappers with the exact amount of coins indicated on the wrapper for each denomination.
