[QUOTE="cladking, post: 808673, member: 68"]Post #29; Yes, but you can't get 5c in change or 15c in change. Every other number could be managed but the typical counterperson at McDounalls will need about five more years of schooling to consistently be able to count out 95c using only dimes and quarters. I can see it now; That will be 2.95 sir, your change from the $5 bill is $2. Hey where's my 5c? We don't have nickels any longer. Then give me a dime. It would turn ugly from this point many times.
