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.
Well, honey, there are multiple ways to make a dollar using those coins. You can do it with 100 pennies, 20 nickels, 10 dimes, 4 quarters, 2 half dollars, or just one big ol' dollar coin. So, get your math hat on and start counting those coins!

There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar using the coins of a penny thru 1/2 dollar
Oh, dude, if this guy can't make change for a dollar using a half dollar, quarter, dime, or nickel, then he must have some rare coins or maybe some foreign currency! Like, who carries around 1.15 in six coins anyway? Sounds like this guy needs to hit up a coin collector or something.
To make one dollar using only 5-cent coins, you need a total of 20 coins. This is because one dollar equals 100 cents, and dividing 100 cents by 5 cents gives you 20. Therefore, if you collect 20 of the 5-cent coins, you will have exactly one dollar.
