I believe there are no tolls anywhere on I-69. I-94 (east of chicago) is not a toll road either. I-80 is a toll road in Indiana but not in Illinois. However, portions of I-90 and all of I-294 (tri-state) are toll roads. I'm not sure how many toll booths are on I-294 but it is something like 6 or 7. They are generally $.40-$.50 each. There are some exits on the toll roads that require smaller amounts. Check out:

Also, if you decide to follow I-90 downtown keep in mind that the skyway portion (south of downtown chicago) is $2 and is currently undergoing a lot of construction.

Basically a handfull of change will get you through. There are of course "manual" lanes at the booths where you can pay with bills.

Typically toll roads are shown in green on road maps.

Where are you heading? If you follow I-90 west from Chicago it is toll road with 4 or 5 toll booths before the Wisconsin border. I-94 is also toll road all the until Wisconsin also. I'd bet there are other members more familiar with the Chicago area that could give you some good tips. If you have the time there are plenty of things to do downtown. It is worth a side trip.
