First remind me how Americans do that. I lived in Japan a long time, 
and it's done quite differently there.

For the U.S., say the output so far is:

Enter the cost: 5.77
Enter the tendered amount: 10
Your change is $4.23
$1 bills:       4
10-cent coins:  2
1-cent coins:   3

What would be the U.S. way of counting back the change? I think we 
start with the $5.77, but then what?
