Change It Backwards

Definition
The act of presenting your excess change from a purchase to the person behind you in line. The change should then immediately be used by that person toward their purchase and again any excess passed to the person behind them. This act should continue until all change has been used.

This act will prevent excess accumulation of change within the general public.

Origins
Change it backwards was a movement created in the Summer of 2004 at an Exxon Mobile in Baltimore, Maryland. This act of generosity involved the creators Ryan Kennedy of Mechanicsberg, Pennsylvania and his friend Mark Bidelman passing their excess change from a purchase of a Slim Jim and Mountain Dew to the next person in line who needed $0.06 in order to not break a bill. The change was then continually passed back in line until all of it was exhausted.

Recent Sitings
The movement did not take off at this point, but was most recently seen in 2009 at the Walgreen in the Mission District of San Francisco, California. However, the recipients ignorance of "The Movement" caused them to frightfully decline this generous offer. The good word of the movement must be spread to keep this atrocity from occurring again.

Supporting the Cause
No longer should people suffer the indignity of large sums of change jingling in their pockets or the humiliation of having to return a gallon of milk to the shelf because they are $0.06 short. Please support the Change it Backwards Movement and save the world.
