The difference is more profound than that. When I worked a register in the Stone Age, making change meant counting up to the next dollar from the final price while dropping coins into the customer's hand, then the same with increasingly larger bills up to the the amount he paid me.
Today, the register displays the amount to be returned and the clerk counts up to that amount while pulling coins and bills out of the drawer.
