Three max if all three totals agree.

FYI: If you take off your shoes you can count twice as fast.
There's (usually) ten digits in your socks too!

260k in 100s that I took out of my safe deposit box when ex filed for divorce

2.7 mil in a safe when relative passed away

My unit was one of the first to get to Noriega's compound during Just Cause. There was a vault with about $20M in $100s.
I should have filled up a duffle bag with a few million and went AWOL. Could have buried it and did my 2yrs and go back and get the cash. But, I was a good little govt servant back then. ??
What's crazy is I read a few years later that the official report said they only recovered about $6M! Somebody got paid.

Me? probably less than $5k

My wife used to audit banks, she's spent significant time in the vaults, she's seen some pretty big chunks of change.

Millions, easily. The bank I used to use was built in the 20's and is one of those concrete over steel buildings that were built back then when banks wanted to convey security and solidity. 20 foot ceilings in the lobby, granite, marble, the whole nine. You can see the vault from the lobby and it's one of those massive jobs with ilke a 10 foot diameter circular door that's two feet thick. Inside that was basically a jail cell. They'd leave the main door open during business hours and keep the jail cell closed, so you could see inside. Every now and then when there was a large shipment to or from the Federal Reserve (back in the days when they still moved hard cash for everything), there would just be pallets of cash just sitting there 30 feet from you while you deposited or cashed your paycheck.

$60K, volunteered to count the cash after a 5A HS football game. We were escorted by 3 offduty LEOs

3.5 million in commercial vault of local bank.

Vault would process the deposits of large commercial customers like WalMart and Winn Dixie.

The cash would accumulate over a week and would then be shipped to the local Fed Reserve branch for deposit into the bank's bank.

Three guys would walk it right out of the building in large bags. No one knew the guys were carrying a few million is cash.

I always thought the process was incredibly weak from a security standpoint.

once saw about $400k in a safe at EWE's old crib
