If one Bitcoin equals (as an example) $1000 US, are there lower denominations?  If I wanted to buy a hamburger, how would I pay without getting back tons of change...assuming a hamburger might cost $5 US?

You send the vendor exactly .005Btc.

It's easy.  There is never really any need for change.

At first some questions we have about bitcoin are like this...

How will we actually send an email if there is nowhere to buy stamps?

The more you understand bitcoin, the more you will realize it is an idea who's time has come.

Bitcoins are divisible to 0.00000001, this is called a satoshi.
