spare change
Loose pocket money
Spare change is loose coins or small amounts of money beyond what's needed for immediate purposes.
The phrase often appears in requests from panhandlers: Spare any change?
It implies money so minor the giver won't miss it.
Figuratively, spare change can mean an insignificant sum: A million dollars is spare change to him.
