A half dollar and five pennies
A half dollar (50-cent piece), 7 nickels, and a penny.
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!
