If cashier tells you that:

I don't have change. Could you "pay exact amount of money"?

How to say "to pay exact amount of money" in good English?

Best Answer

The most common phrase is "exact change", so you could say Exact change, please. While "change" is usually applied to coins rather than bills when talking about currency, it is acceptable when talking about the return of excess given during a purchase, "Here's your change."

And it is not always applied politely. This news story tells of a Canadian woman who was fined $219 for not having exact change when riding a bus.
