This device should have been on the market for years or at least something like it, but alas... It never ceases to amaze me that problems people have on a daily basis are seldom ever addressed.

This is a simple one, but also one that would be used by most everyone of us on a daily basis.

How many times have you been at the store, searching through your pockets for change, to try and give exact change because breaking dollars makes them drift into oblivion even faster? How many times have you said the heck with it, and broke your next smallest bill leaving you with what? Even more damn change! What's the solution? Read on....

This is a simple device that allows you to enter your change into slots in the top. The simple electronic mechanism keeps track of the amounts of coins, and voila! A TOTAL amount is born. This amount is displayed on the screen. The user types in the amount of change called for, say 32 cents. The machine dispenses, one quarter, one nickel, and two pennies, through the return slot at the bottom. If there are no quarters, three dimes are used. If there are no nickles, an assortment of pennies. If there are no possible combinations that could be dispensed by the device, it would read, "Sorry, no bannana" or something to this effect.

The reason that this device is electronic is that there are many people who find it difficult to count change. There were in times past other devices similar to this, although the use of even simple math in today's society has become difficult if not impossible.

Remember those restaraunts where the waitress had a change counter, that she could dispense change from on her belt? Well this is like that, only for the more mathmaticlly challenged populous of the United States and abroad today. Devices that took coins, and allowed the user to preform the same operations as the one used by the waitress mentioned above, were a quick passing fad, mostly because they were "difficult to use".

Some may surmise that I'm actually adding to the problem of a mathmatically illiterate society, and this may be the case, however I assure you that this in no way touches the atrocities in this reguard that have already been implemented by my counterparts. McDonalds for example, where pictures of the food are placed over the buttons on the cash register, as opposed to good ol digits comes to mind. Do you begin to see my point?

A very profitable and marketable device though none the less, reguardless of the so called "societal implications".
