            double payment = Double.parseDouble(paymentTextField.getText());
            paymentTextField.setText(fmt.format(payment));
     
            finalChange = payment - allTotal;
            change.setText(String.valueOf(fmt.format(finalChange)));
     
            int dollar;
            double cent;
            dollar = (int)finalChange % 1000000;
            cent = finalChange - dollar;
     
            if((dollar / 100) >= 1)
            {
                changeTextArea.setText(dollar / 100 + " $100");
                dollar = dollar - 100 * (dollar / 100);
            }
     
            if((dollar / 50) >= 1)
            {
                changeTextArea.setText(dollar / 50 + " $50");
                dollar = dollar - 50 * (dollar / 50);
            }
     
            if((dollar / 20) >= 1)
            {
                changeTextArea.setText(dollar / 20 + " $20");
                dollar = dollar - 20 * (dollar / 20);
            }
     
            if((dollar / 10) >= 1)
            {
                changeTextArea.setText(dollar / 10 + " $10");
                dollar = dollar - 10 * (dollar / 10);
            }
     
            if((dollar / 5) >= 1)
            {
                changeTextArea.setText(dollar / 5 + " $5");
                dollar = dollar - 5 * (dollar / 5);
            }
     
            if((dollar / 1) >= 1)
            {
                changeTextArea.setText(dollar / 1 + " $1");
            }      
     
        }

    test code output, what I want the GUI above to look like

    3 $0.01

    test code

    package correctchange;
     
    public class CorrectChange {
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {

            int dollar;
            double cent;
            dollar = (int)change % 1000000;
            cent = change - dollar;
     
            // dollar calculation
     
            if((dollar / 100) >= 1)
            {
                System.out.println(dollar / 100 + " $100");
                dollar = dollar - 100 * (dollar / 100);

            if((cent / 0.25) >= 1.00)
            {
                System.out.println((int)(cent / 0.25) + " $0.25");

    Read the API doc for the JTextArea class. There are methods to set the text to a String and to append a String to what is there.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
