> The chance you have 43 cents in your pocket is equal to the probability that you have 29 or 99 cents in your pocket (in addition to any bills).
This was something I found fascinating when I first visited the US. I'm not sure if it's common across the entire country, but it definitely happened everywhere I shopped: I always received the exact change. If something cost $1.97 and I paid $2 in cash, I would get 3 cents back. And so on, no matter how many coins would be necessary. How thoughtful. I'm more used to rounding off and leaving the change behind, no questions asked.
