Hands and smartphone-only run: the idea
So here's my hot take about this game: you don't need no money counters, no worktable, no washing machine and dryer, no nothing except your trusty hands and the smartphone to finish the game. I'll even throw in one more condition: we can't pick up single bills, only hundreds at a time (by long-clicking a pile) or piles themselves. How?

Well, the most important game rules making this possible are 1: "you can send extra things", including extra cash, and 2: "you can send multiple packages for the same quest". Doing both these things doesn't incur any penalties except spending extra cash on the quests, but you get loads of extra cash as the game progresses anyway. So how is this possible?

ERA BEFORE SCANNER:
All quests only deal with dollars and are fairly easy. You just send cash one wad (100 bills) at a time until the quest is fulfilled. You can save yourself a bit of time and crypto if you're smart about the amounts, for example 42k dollars cannot be less than 420 bills (nice), so send 5 wads first, and then adjust based on how much registered. It also helps to know that treasury bags often contain bills of the same denomination (every single one of them or "mostly", doesn't matter, we don't care), that can help with quests requiring the specific denomination. But even if you don't have the desired treasury bags, just send them random money, eventually you'll hit the goal.

ERA AFTER SCANNER:
Suddenly everything became super easy, because
- Scanner can tell you what currencies and denominations bags/piles/wads have
- Scanner can tell you whether the bag/pile/wad complies to the current quest objective at least partially

I will also tell you to not mix cash from different bags (except for leftovers less than 100 bills) for the reasons that become apparent later.

So if you just need a sum of cash in any bills, you throw random wads in a box (or whatever) until the scanner says it has enough. Prioritise dirty/ink-stained money if you have any.
If you need a specific bill, you can scan incoming bags for that specific bill, or pre-make a couple dozen of 100-bill wads and choose those containing more of the required bill to send away. Might as well be a bit optimal about this, you know.
If you need clean money, choose containers with clean money, surely you have some lying around. This is also why I told you not to mix money from different containers, or they will all become dirty or ink-stained or whatever.
If you need money without counterfeits, chances are you have incoming bags without any counterfeits at all (the scanner will tell you). But even if there aren't, just send more cash until you hit the goal.
If you need euro or yen, you can find incoming bags with only that currency and send money from those. Mixed currency bags also work if you don't have any "pure" bags left, of course.
Same with marked money, the scanner will tell you if a specific bag or wad has any marked money at all, so send those wad by wad until the quest is complete.
Things that aren't money cannot be processed by any machines anyway, so do them the same as vanilla.

So, while I haven't tried it myself, am I missing something? Do you guys find it weird that the game that's supposed about cleaning and counting cash can be completed, well, without any cleaning and counting?
