The 10 Dollar Thought Experiment

This might be an interesting name for an experiment. Who knows? Anyways, if you want a little preview, here's how it started:

I came up with it later than you might think. Yesterday, in fact. Since my school has plenty of shops around it, a cafeteria, and other places to goad you into -I mean worthwhile- to spend your money at, my parents decided to hand me some money to 'put to good use' (translation: spend it on food. Hey, they have good food there!). My parents aren't the allowance type; rarely do I have money to spend. My mom handed me 10 dollars, decreeing that I better not spend all of it by the end of the month.

So this led me thinking: do people spend more money if it is in 1 bill (10 dollar bill), or in loose change (coins, etc)? Or does it even matter?

Just a bit of food for thought.
