<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 263740, member: 66&quot;]Or if we get rid of the dollar bill you pay for the $1 item with a $5 and get back 2 $2 bills.&nbsp; Now what was the problem again?</p><p><br /></p><p>Back when I first started working our cash register, an old one, had six slots.&nbsp; When we changed registers it had five slots. I have seen some that have only four slots.&nbsp; Can someone tell me how many slots are actually in a standard cash drawer?</p><p><br /></p><p>Another comment for the people using cash registers.&nbsp; Very few people really use $50&#039;s and $100&#039;s, so do you really need to keep the 20&#039;s in the tray?&nbsp; I know of some places that put them under the tray as well.&nbsp; And many business don&#039;t let 20&#039;s accumulate in the register anyway.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If the standard register has five slots and we get rid of the cent and dollar note you have for coins Nickels, dimes quarters, dollars and an empty slot.&nbsp; For bills you have twos, fives, tens, twenties and larger go underneath and you have two empty slots.&nbsp; If you want to keep the twenties on top you still have one empty slot</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have four slots, your change slots are full, put the twenties underneath and you have the fourth slot for rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another comment on my discussion earlier about the circulation of the dollar coin.&nbsp; I would imagine the silver dollar probably did circulate during the 1840 - 48 period.&nbsp; My reasoning,&nbsp; If you paid for a $1 purchase with a half eagle&nbsp; what would you get back in change?&nbsp; You could get four $1 bills, but since there was no federal paper at the time these notes would be from private banks all over the country and would be of uncertain value.&nbsp; They&nbsp; might be worth 90 cent, 80 cents, 60 cents or even not worth the paper they are printed on because the bank may have gone under or never even have existed in the first place.&nbsp; And each note can be worth a different amount.&nbsp; Or you can demand four silver dollars that are backed by the government and are worth a dollar.&nbsp; Which would you chose?&nbsp; The merchant is going to try to get you to take the paper because he wants to keep his dollar coins but my bet is there were a lot of people ASKING for dollar coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
