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.
