Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / administration | | Spanish term or phrase: lomeo | It is on a receipt from a security transportation company in Paraguay. One section of the form says 'Usar exclusivamente en los casos de servicios con a)Recuento b)Lomeo.'
That section of the form then has columns 'denominación del billetaje', 'cantidad de billetes', 'cant. de lomos'. The copy is poor quality, but I reasonably sure that is what it says. |

| | stacking | Explanation:
When bills are counted out, they are put into stacks, or packets, containing a determined numbered of bills. Ex: 100-$1, 25-$5, 20-$10, etc.
This operation is "stacking". Lomos are the stacks. |

30 mins confidence:   wad [of banknotes/bills] (stack, pile)
Explanation:
Wouldn't this 'lomeo, lomos' refer to a stack, wad or pile of bills/notes, typically seen in a US film involving crime? A wad of notes in denominations of $100, $50, etc. Some 50 notes of $50 and that's $2500 US.
I suggest this from the context and also the term 'lomo' being the part of the animal (pig, beef (in Spanish)) that is expensive, of quality and fairly thick: 'the loin'.
It sounds like a wad to me, though I know this is fairly informal.
Best of luck,
Neil.
