It’s possible that enough people have started saying, “No thanks, just keep it,” that they’ve started asking. I often decline my coin change; it’s not worth the trouble it takes to deal with it, and since I use cash so rarely anyway, it’s a bit pointless to carry all that heavy, nearly worthless metal.
I would prefer to donate it, though, if there’s a box nearby for a good charity (although it begs the question: does it actually cost a charity more money than it’s worth to deal with a ten-pound box of loose change that might be worth $30?) I’ll give it as part of a tip too, but only along with some real folding money.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could just eliminate coin change altogether!
