There is a saying 'आधी मोजावे, मग बोलावे' (Count first, then speak). It emphasizes that financial clarity prevents arguments. During Diwali, 'Dhanlaxmi Pujan' involves counting and worshipping coins. Here, counting is a sacred act of acknowledging prosperity. Counting money with a wet finger (using saliva) is considered 'ashubh' (inauspicious) and unhygienic in modern urban Maharashtra. In weekly village markets, counting is often done loudly so that bystanders can act as witnesses to the transaction.
