The answer is a nickel and a 50 cent piece (half dollar). The question states that *one* of them is not a nickel, but the other coin may be a nickel. In fact, this is the only answer.

One is a half dollar and the other is the nickel. This way, one is not the nickel, the other is the nickel.

If one of the two coins isn't a nickel, then that means the other coin is. The other coin is then a half-dollar. A nickel is worth $0.05 and the half-dollar is worth $0.50. So, 50+5= $0.55.

The puzzle is actually stated differently: "You have two US coins totaling 55 cents and ONE OF THEM is not a nickel". The answer is a nickel and a half dollar. The riddle only says that one coin can't be a nickel, not both.

Even using obsolete denominations like 20¢ pieces or half-dimes, no two US Coins add up to 55 cents unless you use a nickel.

It's a 50 cent piece and a 5 cent piece.

The 50 cent is not a nickel... even if the nickel is. So one is not a nickel, the other one is.
the FIRST coin (number one) is a half-dollar. the SECOND coin (number two) is a nickel. one is a half-dollar, not a nickel
The question is generally asked: what two coins total 55 cents if one of them is not a nickel?

The answer: a half dollar (which is not a nickel), and a nickel.
The coins are a half dollar and a nickel. It's a trick question - the half dollar is the coin that's not a nickel.
The way I've heard this answered is: One is a half-dollar and the other one is a nickle.
