I find it hard to comprehend that somebody, anybody,
doesn't teach people how to count change back when
not given the correct change or their cash register
is down.  It only takes once or twice practicing
to learn how to count the change back.

I literally haven't used change since the pandemic started (March 15,
2020) for me.

I sometimes use change, to keep up my street cred as an old lady.
Mostly it get left along with the tip at our local mom & pop Chinese
joint.

I still have some change in my truck, but it's starting to
get an aged patina on it. Is old metal money worth anything?

It's still worth its face value.

Is any
metal money worth anything? Let's drop the decimal after the dollar
sign and move on.

It might be an impetus to get retailers to incorporate sales tax
into the listed price of goods.
