"The vending machine accepted five dollar bills, so I fed a crisp Lincoln into the slot and pressed the button corresponding with the caffeinated beverage of choice. The change descended loudly.

Quickly applying some mental math, I calculated that the vending machine had returned only $1.50 in change. I plunged my fingers into the coin return cup and planned to voice a complaint to the front desk as soon as I retrieved those six quarters.

Then I looked at the coins in my palm: three Susan B. Anthony dollars, and three quarters. My anger turned to embarrassment.

The change I received wasn't what I anticipated, but it was correct."
