two quarters and five pennies

More

The puzzle is actually stated "How can you make 55 cents with two coins if one isn't a nickel?", which rules out the use of quarters and pennies.

The answer is a half dollar and a nickel. The trick is that the question says only one can't be a nickel, it doesn't say they both can't be nickels.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
