Hmm, arguably only in very limited terms unless you're shopping well away
from your nest. In a community where people know each other, the implied
aspersion on the cashier involved in conspicuously counting your change
might cost you more in ill feeling than any immediate fiscal gain. (And
there's no sense counting it discreetly, since then *you* might be accused
of fraud if you find an error.)
