Assuming that you are referring to US Coins, it does not seem to be possible, even if obsolete denominations are allowed, to use five different denominations of coins to make exactly 50 cents. I am not aware of any other countries that use "cents" that would allow you to do so either. However, in Czarist Russia, and in the Soviet Union, there were coins in the denominations (among others) of 2, 3, 10, 15 and 20 kopeks, the total of which 5 coins would be 50 kopeks.

How can you make 89 cents with 6 coins?

To make 89 cents with 6 coins, you have to first realize that the "9" part of the cents is comprised of 5 cents and 4 pennies. Therefore, you have to have 4 pennies and 85 cents using 2 coins; impossible, since you would need 3 coins(if you had half-dollars) to make that amount: a half-dollar, quarter, and a dime. Basically, it's impossible with only coins worth 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, and 0.50 of the currency(US$, I assume?)
