One toonie - $2 each
Two Loonies - $1 each
Two quarters
Three nickels
Three dimes
Four Pennies
15 coins you are carrying around that can make any amount of change up to $4.99.

Now that I think about it, it would be
One Toonie
Two Loonies
Three Quarters
Two Dimes
One Nickle
Four pennies
13 coins. That should be able to make any kinds of change... [ 02-26-2004: Message edited by: Delidgamond ]
Am I bad person? 
Secondly, even if I did carry actual physical money, I'd carry a collection of assorted small bills and suck it up (or drop money in charity jars) to use up all the change, which is what I usually end up doing. And yet I STILL manage to amass quarters and shit.

Eleven coins. Well, it's what I carry. You could drop a penny or something if you wanted. [ 02-26-2004: Message edited by: Sean ]
It's not something people hear about.

First off...I use my debit card everywhere. It's easier.Secondly, even if I did carry actual physical money, I'd carry a collection of assorted small bills and suck it up (or drop money in charity jars) to use up all the change, which is what I usually end up doing.

Debit charges you unless you have a certain amount of cash always in your account.
And change adds up so keep it!

I get 12 free debit transactions a month (which include any online purchases or movement of funds that would take money out of my checking account) and then it charges me $0.15 for each transaction above it unless i have $2500.00+ in my account when then 13th and over debit transactions go through.
It doesn't matter to me since I use my Visa everywhere. It's just that most of the times I go to Tim Horton's (a coffee and doughnut place that is 10x better than Starbucks and 1/4 of the price) which is cash only.

I live in the same city and I have never been charged for debit in my life.
I always carry cash, I just like it more, quicker than doing the PIN and waiting for the acceptance. For small purchases at least, no way in hell am I going to debit like 3 dollars, would rather pop down 2 coins instead.
Which is way more then I thought. ^_^

Thanks to Anachronox I know what a loonie is, but where the hell does the toonie come from?
two dollar loonie. two loonie. toonie.
Took me a second to work that one out myself.
And here in the States, everywhere worth eating takes the check/debit card I have, and I don't get charged to use it. In fact the only time I DO get charged for using it is when I go to another company's ATM to get cash out. I don't even need cash to go to the movies.

Our vending machines/drink machines take credit cards!

Timmy's have signs up at the drive thru and at the counter (and on doors and stuff) explaining why they don't take debit/credit cards.
"To insure constant speed of service to all of our customers, we only accept cash." or words to that effect.
Timmy's excepted though, pretty much EVERYONE else in Canada will take debit cards. (Heck, "Greco Pizza", the pizza/donair chain in the Maritimes will let you use debit card for Deliveries. The pizza guys have a cellular debit machine or something. Wish they'd get that for a chain in Ottawa. 
. The ONLY checks I write any more are the ones my mom writes to take loan payments out of my account and get them over to my credit union account. (since the Credit Union is 900km away from me), and the only change I use normally is when I'm gathering coins up to do laundry.

T-Ray, what the heck is a "donair"?
Did you mean doughnut/donut? Or is this some creepy Canadian thing like milk in a bag?
