What are the other possible meanings of the phrase (idiom) to exact change?

Idiom: exact (something) from (someone)

To obtain something from someone through authority, force, or some other means of coercion.

Coerced into what action?

Exact change?

The repeated use of the words "exact change" may function as a hex for people to accept societal changes.

Hypnosis and Suggestion

                                                     

Priming (in psychology) is a phenomenon whereby exposure to one stimulus influences a response to a subsequent stimulus, without conscious guidance or intention.

Priming occurs whenever exposure to one thing can later alter behavior or thoughts.

In this way, are Americans being primed to exact change?

Using words to affect people

Definition of prime target

: someone who is more likely than most other people to be affected by something

 

(such as a disease)            

Neurolinguistic Programming

Experts in NLP can target a person to make that person take the action the NLPer desires for them.

Examples of NLP meta-programs include the preference for overview or detail, the preference for where to place one's attention during conversation, habitual linguistic patterns and body language, and so on.

[habitual linguistic patterns = repeating word phrases]

NLP people will consistently use language with hidden or layered meanings. 

For instance “Diet, nutrition and sleep with me are the most important things, don’t you think?” 

On the surface, if you heard this sentence quickly, it would seem like an obvious statement that you would probably agree with without much thought. Yes, of course diet, nutrition and sleep are important things, sure, and this person’s really into being healthy, that’s great. But what’s the layered-in message? 

“Diet, nutrition 

and

sleep with me

are the most important things, don’t you think?” 

Yep, and you just unconsciously agreed to it. Skilled NLPers can be incredibly subtle with this.

Subtle Suggestions

Now read the words on these warning signs again.

Due to a nationwide coin shortage,

please use electronic payment

or

exact change

when possible.

Is change possible?
Can we (you and me) possibly exact change?

If possible, please pay

with

exact change

or use debit, credit, or contactless payment.

Are you aware of the embedded encoded hidden suggestion?

The exoteric surface message can hide an esoteric hidden meaning.

CONCLUSION

The repeated use of the words "exact change" may function as a hex to prime the targeted population to accept societal changes or to take matters into their own hands.

EXACT CHANGE! 

• Exact revenge for inequality?
• Change the elected officials?
• "The Great Reset"
• Revolution?

The ambiguous declaration creates a fertile environment for chaotic seeds of change to be planted, flower, and bear fruit in our immediate future.

Other ideas to consider

Election campaign slogans?

2008

• "Yes We Can" – Barack Obama campaign chant, 2008
• "We are the ones we've been waiting for." – 2008 U.S. presidential campaign rallying cry of Barack Obama during the Democratic convention in Denver.

• "Change We Can Believe In." – 2008 US presidential campaign slogan of Barack Obama
• "Change We Need." and "Change." – 2008 U.S. presidential campaign slogan of Barack Obama during the general election.

2020

Twelve years later and the message in 2020 is we are lacking change (coins or improvements?) so we need to be exacting!

Other thoughts:

Loose Change is a series of films released between 2005 and 2009 that argue in favor of certain conspiracy theories relating to the September 11 attacks.

Times of change:

Officially, the Continental Congress declared its freedom from Great Britain on July 2, 1776, when it voted to approve a resolution submitted by delegate Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, declaring “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”

"Never use exact change when paying for anything, 

always round up to the nearest dollar. 

It just makes CENTS"

Will the U.S. Mint stop using metals to create new coins?

This is a rough draft.
