RTourn writes - "Some people carry change purse with them where ever they go, but you won't use most of those coins. Why carry coins that you won t use? So what is the fewest number of coins you can carry that allows you to produce any exact change? And then find an inexpensive way to carry that in your wallet." - Link.

So you would still have to carry a wallet if you were going to buy something over 99c.
I can't remember the last time I used cash to buy something. I try to exclusivly use my debit card.
