How to Make Change And Count Back Money
No one seems to know how to properly count back change anymore. In my early years I worked as a clerk for over 10 years. With the changed tender function on cash registers, clerks type in the dollar amount you give them, and the register tells them the change to give back. This technique results in an announcement of the change amount, a pile of bills delivered to your palm, and the change dumped on top. This leaves you awkwardly trying to dump the change off the bills so you can quickly put your bills away before you are sort of, shoved out of the way for the next customer. Not to mention counting your own money. Counting change is a lost art that offers a safeguard for the customer, and the clerk.

Next step is the bills. You want to make up the smaller bills to the $20. You left off at $14. One dollar bill is "15" one five dollar bill is "20." There you have it. You have counted back the change from a $20 bill.

I think it's easier to say to the customer, "your change is $6 and 41ยข" (hand them the change 1st, then, count out the $6, in their hand) #simple#.
