Hard to say without context. There are plenty of modern gadgets which count money. Many ATM's allow you to insert a stack of bills. I've never had an error yet!

You can throw a handful of change into a basket and get an accurate total value.

This can have at least two senses:

"It (the automatic coin-counting and sorting machine) counted the money."

"She treated him like he was nothing. But then he showed her his bank and brokerage account balances, and then she was all sweetness. It counted (mattered to her), the money."

Hi, Anon,
I think the punctuation is critical in supporting your version. Without the comma (or a dash), it would not be possible.
There would also need to be a prior reference to money, as antecedent to "it."
Edit: Okay, I see you've provided the prior context. Sorry.
