Be careful to ask what kind of change you want

Does anyone have change for a dollar?
How do I want it?
I don't care, I just want change. I am tire of carrying around this one dollar bill around.
How about 100 pennies?
Maybe 20 nickels?
50 pennies and 10 nickels?
80 pennies, 1 dime and 2 nickels?
Change is great. It can be convenient. But, when you seek change, you should be very specific on what kind of change you need. 100 pennies can be a heavy weight to carry around while you proudly announce that you got the change that you wanted.
Try to find a vending machine that will take them. See the faces of the happy people behind you in line as the cashier has to count them out. Everyone has to live with your change.
When you seek change, make sure it is the change that works.
What kind of change do you want?
