“Change is good, but dollars are better”

“Change is good, but dollars are better” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many gift items, such as T-shirts, hats and mugs. The saying has been cited since at least 1995, when it was printed on a sweatshirt. It’s not known who authored the quotation.
