Not knowing how to ?make change? is an underlying problem in today's society. In this day and age, it is automatically assumed that everyone knows how to make change and that assumption is inaccurate. A high percentage of people who work with money exchange on a daily basis have trouble making change without the use of a register. However, there are also a high percentage of consumers that are unaware of how much change they are to receive back from the cashier. Learning how to "Make Change" is taught in early elementary school years but is rarely used these days. Traditional counting has been forgotten due to the use of registers and calculators. Just like a muscle, if we do not use it, we loose it and that is exactly what has happened. Not knowing how to make change can turn into an embarrassing situation in a heartbeat.



A familiar scenario might have taken place in a grocery store where the cashier enters the wrong key and all of a sudden, the cashier is left with a bewildered look on their face, as they have no idea how much change to give the customer. Worse yet, the customer has no idea how much change they are to receive. Every person who works or has worked with money exchange knows that it is very important to be able to know how to make change on their own if ever they are in a situation such as that. When working with money exchange, it should be required to have the knowledge of how to make change before even being hired to avoid embarrassment.

Making change from money may come simple to one, but difficult to another. One might say, ?You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know how to make change? which is a very negative statement. Often when a person has trouble counting back change, the likely response is criticism. In life, the learning process is forever regardless of the subject. Less judgment and more support is what our society needs. Those who work in the money exchange industry are embarrassed to ask for help, resulting in major insecurities about making change. Remember, everyone needs assistance in life one way or another. There is always room for learning, as knowledge is power.

Registers and calculators have added convenience to our lives, but the knowledge of making change is still very much needed. The traditional teaching for making change may be difficult for many people but that is all about to take a turn for the better. A new and improved method is what our society needs that teaches a short-cut that will help them to quickly achieve the correct change and then count back the change to the customer fast and accurately. Money exchange is made on a daily basis all over the world and it is imperative that our society knows their change. Making change the traditional way has just been replaced with a new and improved fast method that will truly become an answered prayer for many.
