ATM message - Right or wrong?

Hi everybody!!

I would like to know whether the message "Please, wait counting banknotes” is corret and understandable for native speakers of English or not.

I work for a bank in Brazil and received a ATM screen with this message, which sounded very weird to me.

Thank you!

It is certainly understandable however I wouldn't say it was natural. Please wait, while we count your money would be more natural.
