Why do they have to do it that way? Because they have to count it the way the cash register counted it for them - four dollars and thirty-five cents. If it was done the way it should be - i.e. change first - then you'd get the coins first - 45, 50, 75, 1 dollar, 2,3,4,5....

<<Why do they have to do it that way?>> I Ye Olden Days if you bought a pair of spurs for $9.50 and gave then a double sawbuck, they'd start your change @ $9.50 then add the quarters and the sawbuck. Now the register says you get $10.50 back so you get the ten and then the 50 cents. Mind order vs machine order.
