counting money
Summing up cash
Counting money is the act of tallying currency to determine a total amount.
The phrase often appears in contexts of wealth or success: I'll be too busy counting money to care what critics say.
Someone caught counting money may be verifying earnings or, more suspiciously, handling illicit funds.
