Yesterday on my drive home from my parents' house I stopped at a gas station to get a few bottles of water for my game. The change that I received came out to be $0.34, so the lady asked me if I had a nickel. I said no, but wondered if she asked me that because she didn't have four pennies in the register to give me. I leaned over to notice that

Ok, maybe I'm just too tired... but that doesn't make any sense! If they owed you $.34, and you gave them a nickel, they would owe you $.39, which is still 4 pennies. If they didn't want to pass pennies back and forth, shouldn't they have asked you if you had a penny? Then they would have owed you $.35, and could have given you back a quarter and a dime. I am confused by this.

She asked me if I had a PENNY, not a nickel. Sorry for the confusion.

Haha I just got that. Why do I keep catching mistakes in other people's livejournals?!

I think they figure most people would rather have silver change since you can use silver change in more places.
