I'd say you can't. If all the coins are the smallest possible without pennies, they must all be nickels, and 21 of them make $1.05 . So in order for 21 coins to be not more than $1.00, there must be some pennies.
4 Quarters= 1 dollar 10 dimes = 1 dollar 20 nickels = 1 dollar 2 half dollars = 1 dollar 1 Susan B. Anthony Coin = 1 dollar 1 Hiawatha Coin = 1 dollar 3 Quarters + 2 Dimes + 1 nickel = 1 dollar And just for an added bonus a bag of quarters is 65 pounds, contains 4000 coins, and is worth $1,000.
The answer to the question as written is no. The smallest number would be 4 coins: 1 quarter, 4 dimesHowever the question isn't correctly written. It's a actually brain teaser that asks, "Can you make 55 cents using two coins if one of them is not a nickel?" The answer of course is a half dollar and a nickel - the half dollar is the coin that's not a nickel!
10 nickels and 2 quarters
Assuming she is using current US coins, she has 4 pennies, 4 dimes, 1 quarter and 1 half dollar - 10 coins for a total of $1.19. She could, of course, also have any number of dollar coins as well.
To make a dollar using the coins mentioned (pennies, quarters, nickels, half dollar, and dollar coin), we can create combinations of these coins. The possible combinations can be calculated using a systematic approach, considering the different values of each coin. This would involve listing out all possible combinations and summing them to reach a total of one dollar. The total number of ways to make a dollar using these coins would be the total number of valid combinations that add up to one dollar.
one half dollar; one quarter; one dime; 15 pennies
Using pennies, nickels, and dimes: 85 pennies 1 nickel 1 dime Total = 87 coins.
A Crown (25p) and a 5p.
There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar using the coins of a penny thru 1/2 dollar
A dollar bill can be broken up into nineteen coins when giving change. This can be done by using one quarter, five dimes, two nickles, and ten pennies.
Well, isn't that just a happy little puzzle! If the man has 1.15 in six coins but can't make change for a dollar, half dollar, quarter, dime, or nickel, then he must have five pennies and one dime. That adds up to 1.15 without using any of the other coins mentioned. Just a reminder, there are no mistakes in puzzles, only happy accidents!
