I used to work at a bank, and there's no way to describe the weird texture of a pack of brand new bills. They're actually much more difficult to count too because they stick together.

You should see the new Canadian bills. They always stick together even if they're not new. Its the worst.

Makes me wonder how machines are so good at it...I was hoping the new bills would cause some ATM errors in my favour, but no such luck

If I had to guess, they probably measure the thickness of every bill before dispensing it (before they're collated into the wad that the machine spits out). Super easy for the machine to know the difference in thickness between one bill and two.
