Sounds like you might be using one of the 18XX gameboxes that I have
created.  Here are some answers that may be helpful.

When creating the GSN file for the game, make sure that you create
players first.  This is done by selecting Project > Create Players...
from the menu bar.  Then select Project > Edit Players... to give each
player a real name.  Next, import each player board and assign the
appropriate player name to that board.  Your project tree will then
show (for instance) "Player 1 - Onwed by Abel" or "Player 2 - Owned by
 Baker", etc.  Make sure that you enable non-owners to access the
board so that they can distribute dividends, etc.

Probably the easiest way to accomplish this would be to create
multiple bank trays in the GSN file, one for each denomination of
bills.  I do not know of any sorting function for a tray.

Alas, I do not think that a piece tray inventory or count function is
currently implemented.  I am sure others will correct me if I am in error.
