How to always have exact change
A good tip from Lifehacker—always have the following coins with you:
- 3 quarters
- 1 dime
- 2 nickels
- 4 pennies
This is supposedly the least amount of coins you can carry that will enable you to give exact change in most situations. A good way to start spending that pile of change that might be sitting in a jar at home (especially if you’re lazy like me and keep forgetting to bring it to the bank or a CoinStar machine).
