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!

The answer will depend on the country whose dollar you mean. Different countries, that use dollar, have coins of different denominations.
it is impossible to get exactly one dollar with fifty coins. It requires half a nickel and half a penny, which is impossible (12.5 nickels and 37.5 pennies) if there are 12 nickels and 38 pennies, you get 98 cents if there are 13 nickels and 37 pennies, you get 102 cents
