First we create legal tender that most people don&#039;t use, the dollar and half dollar coins. So much so that young people, and old, can&#039;t distinguish what they are, even those in retail.</p><p>But the REAL problem is this, no one counts back change correctly. If you are old enough to remember how this is done it goes like this: Your purchase total is 14.45, you give a 20.00, your change is then given back to you like this, the clerk says the total 14.45 then gives you a five dollar bills , says 19.45, then gives you a quarter and says 19.70, gives you another quarter, says 19.95, gives you a nickel, says 20.00. This way everything is crystal clear as to what was owed and what was given in change totaling the amount given for payment.</p><p>Seems we count on calculators and computerized registers to tell the casher what change to give. No one wants to be forced to think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
