3 quarters =75
1 nickel = 5
2 dimes = 20
75+5+20=100
Eight nickels and six dimes equal one dollar.
The man must have the following six American coins: 3 quarters (0.75), 1 dime (0.10), and 2 pennies (0.01). This totals 1.15, but he cannot make change for a dollar, half dollar, quarter, dime, or nickel. The combination of these coins does not allow for any of those specific denominations to be made.
1 half-dollar and 5 dimes. BY,Gage Collodi
Assuming US coins: -- 3 dollar coins -- 2 dimes -- 1 quarter
Easy- you have 20 pennies, 2 quarters, 2 dimes, and 2 nickels. That's 26 coins. :) $0.20 + $0.50 + $0.20 + $0.10=$1.00
Alot of ways
One combination of using 20 coins to equal the value of six could be 5 coins of 1 cent, 10 coins of 5 cents, and 5 coins of 0 cents. This totals to 5 + 50 = 55 cents, but since we need to equal six (which seems to imply six cents), another valid combination is 6 coins of 1 cent and 14 coins of 0 cents. This meets the requirement of using 20 coins while totaling six cents.

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!
