Where to Count Your Cash In the Quarter

Published by neonola under Tips for Tourists Edit This

Continuing the Kenny Rogers song theme: “There’ll be time enough for counting when the dealing’s done.”

If you have an urgent need to know how much cash you have on your person, please be safe. Go order a Coke in a restaurant and count it inside. Pop into a bank lobby where you‘re surrounded by people counting money.

Make it a point to count your cash before leaving your hotel and keep a running tally in your head. There’s no shortage of ATMs in the Quarter, so if you’re short you can pull more as you need it. Most places in the area take plastic, anyway, or are steps away from a cash machine.

Stay safer on vacation by using common sense! These tips can’t guarantee anyone a safe trip, but there better than counting your money on a busy sidewalk.
