Whats worse is when they put it on top of the bills and hand it all back to you at once, like some kind of fucked up magic trick. The shit that I just bought is in my other hand, how in the fuck am I supposed to get this change into my pocket?

Pour the change into your mouth, put the bills neatly in your wallet, then put the coins in the wallet whenever they’ve lost their flavor.

    Only if your body is low on Nickel or Pennium

    You can do that if they were in need of a polish. It’s just a bit difficult to aim directly into the wallet when they’re done.

  FYI, the coin smell isn’t actually the metal, but it’s an oil layer made when metals are touched by us
  
  This is the chemical responsible for it
  
  And you can even synthethize it and make pure coin smell

Either put both the coins and bills in your pocket together and sort it out later, or don’t pick your items up off the counter until you sort out your change.

Because even if they gave your paper bills back separate from the coins, if your other hand is so occupied with the items you purchased, how were you going to get the bills in your wallet anyway?
