Translation of a joke from German?

Here it is:

Ein Schwabe, der einen Blumenstrauß gekauft hat, erhält Wechselgeld zurück, das er genau nachzählt.
„Stimmt was nicht?“ fragt die Blumenfrau.
„Doch schon, aber gerade mal so eben.“

I don't get the end - schon, mal, so, eben - all together - German sometimes doesn't make sense to us, foreigners.

A Schwabish man bought a bunch of flowers, paid and checked that the change was right.
The florist asked, "Isn't it correct?"
"Well, yes, but just barely."

Can anyone explain to me why it's funny?

Looks like gibberish to me!
