This is a pile of Australian coins. Specifically, a $2, a $1, a 50c, a 20c, another 20c, a 10c, and a 5c. I carry this pile (or a pile like it) with me pretty much everywhere I go. Why? This is the smallest set of coins that can make any value from $0 up to $4.051. This is neither a tip nor a trick. This is not a lifehack. This has nothing to do with turbocharging. This has everything to do with the fact that people like getting correct change, and the fact that I like having less change in my pocket after I buy something. The person behind the counter’s happy, I’m happy, everyone’s happy. 1: In Australia, stuff gets rounded to the nearest 5c
