kurandoinu:
If you're that bothered about the small change, take it off them and put bigger bits in. Sometimes its just a great way to get rid of your loose change.
I hate people who say "keep the penny" when I'm at work. Well gee thanks. Thats so helpful to me :/
Viseroid:
I try not to tip in coins unless there is a tip jar but if not I'll use quarters. I get this mental image of them miserably trying to pick up a stubborn penny off the table :(. Also, never tip a bartender with coins if you ever want to get your drinks on time the next time you go there :)
kurandoinu:
I know over here they usually ask for the bill on a little tray. Thus no penny problems.
At the end of the day any money is better than none. At least these people are tipping : /

Generally for us, tipping with coins is ok, but nothing smaller than a quarter. Also, we have 1 and 2 dollar coins. So unlike the states, those are considered ok "as coins".

Our restaurants usually do not provide us a tray. They usually give us a small folder the size of a notepad with our bill so tucking in coins isn't really possible.

Over here in the states we used to have a one dollar coin. I don't know what happened to it but they went out of mint a few years ago and I haven't seen them since xD. We also have a half dollar with Kennedy on it but everyone keeps it just because they look cool :). I hate how US money is green and white, reminds me of those old green and black computers :P. Seems like every other country has nice colorful paper money.
