Overage: Receiving cash back or having the remaining
balance applied to the basket purchase when, because of coupon usage,
your total falls below $0.
Policies: The majority of stores do not purposefully allow overage, and this is often stated in their coupon policy (examples include CVS, Rite Aid, Safeway, Target, and Walgreens). Many cashiers adjust the amount of the coupon down to match the price of the product if the coupon’s face value is greater. However, some registers may accept the full value of the coupon and apply the remainder to the rest of your purchase cost. Walmart is an exception...they allow overages! Below are excerpts from their coupon policies:

Walmart: “If
coupon value exceeds the price of the item, the excess may be given to
the customer as cash or applied toward the basket purchase.”
Additional Options: Other stores most likely to give
overage include local, non-chain stores or ones with registers/cashiers
that do not adjust down the coupon price. Shop around (trial and error)
or ask customer service to see if any stores in your area offer
overage. If they do, remember that this is a privilege, and the store
may reverse their policy or update their register system at any time.(Thanks KCL!)
