Listen, just pull out a couple bills and be done with it. You're holding up the whole freakin' line BY DIGGING NICKELS OUT OF YOU DAMN POCKET IN ORDER TO PAY WITH EXACT CHANGE!!!!
Take all that spare change, put it in a piggy bank and when it gets full, roll it all up and deposit it into your savings account. Don't inconvenience everyone behind you.
STOP THE MADNESS!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

| I like to cash checks in the form of Rolls of Nickels.
I use approximate change it it's fast and convenient (for instance, when I go to McD's, my food is 4.23. I'll use a quarter if I have one handy, otherwise, meh.)
My bank has a coin counter for free, too.

| Are we talking traffic or stores here? I have fast-pass type auto-pay thing-a-ma-jig in my car, so I'm the quickest there is in traffic. In a store, I never carry change, so it isn't an issue, but I wouldn't feel guilty piling a load of loose change while everybody had to wait.Â
After all, they're the same SOBs that cut me off in traffic on the way to the store, rode the passing lane for an extra half mile in a traffic jam only to force themselves in at the last second while I waited patiently like a good person, spilled their beer on my kid at a ballgame jumping for a foul ball easily four feet over their head (and this from a fat dude with a 2" vertical leap), banged the back of my seat all through the movie, knocked over my mailbox, let their dog crap on my lawn for the 80 billionth time, dinged the side of my car in the parking lot.Â
Yea, they can just wait while I search through the pennies in the bottom of the wife's pocket book to make sure I'm not accidentally paying with a wheatie.

It's just simple common courtesy. We all have places we need or want to be and none of us need to be held up or slowed down because someone has to pay $2.63 exactly. Just whip out three bucks and be done with it. Then, take the change you got back, toss it in a piggy bank for future deposit in your savings, or for your next DDM purchase, or your child's bank account, or whatever. See how easy and quick that is?

As for exact change, even better is what I often end up doing. Say the bill come to $11.56. Do I want all that change coming back...nope, but I also probably don't have the exact 0.56 either, but odds are I have 0.06 in that pocket. So give the Clerk $22.06...ouch watch those brain molecules melt in front of your eyes until they punch the "amount tendered" into the register and see all they have to give me $10.50 as change. One bill and 2 quarters....nice and clean in my pocket.
