I remember having exact change to buy my SNES. Mom was adamant that she wouldn't give me 1 cent for the damn thing. It got to the point where I was like $4 short and scraped change from all over the place. It then took a lot of nagging to get her to drive me there and get it, eventually she cracked as it was clear I would not shut up about it. I paid with a big handful of change, mostly pennies, and had I miscalculated the sales tax by 1 cent I wouldn't have got it.
