This is a very common move I've seen hundreds of times, the slow roll for those final dollars. It's a two stage delivery, first stage is rapid fire, then thing's slow down and get complicated. Counting out those ones and the change seem to require a huge effort.
I imagine many people just grab the first stack and take off.
