I think I'd scan them all, and divide them into 100 piles of 1,000. While one person is working on uploading and processing scans to a database system (tagging/adding a field for its pile), the other could be sorting the piles if they want. Basically, seeing if you have a match and limiting it to a pile of 1,000 while not having too much overhead of a ton of different piles.
If you do match, each person could check through 500 bills easily, and there's no sorting needed.
