  Everything must have a discipline, as a sole proprietor, you are on your own, in term of keeping small changes, how the hawker do it, how the wet market veges seller do it, you can also learn from them, you must always have a look out at your float (changes), once depleted, try to make it up, like you are now with less $2, use $10 to buy kopi, or ask paxs if got $2 to pay for $8 fares etc etc...in another words, USE YOUR BRAIN AT YOUR OWN TIME AND EXPENSE

  I usually keep coins in a coin box lah.  If not enough $1 coins, go to those self service laundry (many around nowadays) and insert $10 note for $10 coins. lol.

  Like bowah said, if not enough $2 notes, go kopi tiam buy $1.20 kopi and give $10 note for change.

  Usually, I have $120 in $10 denomination and $20 in $2 denomination.  $5 denomination about 1 or 2 notes.

  But nabey, nowadays, pax like to pay with $2 notes.  Maybe ang pow money lah.

  If got too many $2 notes, just use it to pay diesel end of the day lor...hahaha.
