Spending Money is an educational game where you have virtual money to buy stuff from your list and matching the correct amount of money to spend. Making Change is the sister software of it, and is also included in the Dollars and Cents compilation.
Unused Graphics#
Learn
A Learn button mainly for the start screen. It seems to be an early version of the Quiz button but it is still used in some other Attainment games.
Mac Buttons
Leftover buttons that are used in the Mac version, but left over in the Windows version.
Generating shopping list.
An early version of the "Creating Shopping List" dialog in which lacks the progress bar.
A greyed-out OK button. No dialogs serve this purpose.
Making Change Leftovers#
The Enter and Clear, button from Making Change including the OK button in other games are still present, but don't appear anywhere.
The Total, Amount, and Change markers. They are always loaded along the number graphics but don't appear.
Unused Sounds#
From Attainment Company
Likely for the About dialog. It was probably a placeholder.
Always loaded into memory of title screen, but never plays. This sound is used in Making Change.
A boing sound that serves no purpose. Perhaps a bouncing object from another game?

Unused Option#
There is an option called stop enable which is based on "stop sign enable" from Making Change but there is no option to turn it off via Preferences menu. It hides the Quit button in the title screen and Stop button in-game. The only way to turn it off/on is to change the registry at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Attainment\Spending Money\preferences", by setting "stop enable" from true to false.
