I was raised forced to go to church services, and this one old woman from my teen years still has my heart and funny bone.
Her teeth? Hers.
Bought and paid for. (Sometimes she would take the lower plate out as evidence.)
But putting a large bill in the collection plate and then taking her change was the best. She would just take money out of the collection plate.
Put in 20 take out 19...that's a miracle of entertainment while the organ plays sad stupid music
Put 20 in and take out 25.

That was pretty common at the C of E church I attended for a while.
One Evangelical meeting I went to with a girl I was trying to impress had a Pastor who was fond of declaring that "When that collection bag comes back I don't want to hear no chink, I want to hear it RUSSELL" but the worst of all were the Mormons who made you fill in an offertory form, declaring the amount you were giving and signing it to promise it was ten percent of your gross income.
Once a year you received a statement of tithing and and if it was not enough (in their opinion) a summons to the bishops office to explain why you were apparently on such a low wage or else were robbing god.
The UU's come to your house and put the screws on, too.
Nope.
