exact change
No bills needed
Exact change is the precise amount needed for a transaction, with no remainder requiring change back.
Signs reading exact change only indicate that a machine or vendor cannot make change: I had exact change for the toll booth.
The phrase implies coins and small bills counted out to match the price precisely.
