This seems to be a variation of the brain teaser about having 30 cents and one is not a nickel - but the other is. If the question is what two coins equal 25 cents, the answer could be "two bits". In colonial times, each bit was worth an eight of a dollar, so two bits was 25 cents. You may recognize the reference to bits in the phrase "shave and a haircut, two bits".
In older coins, a 20-cent piece and a half-dime (5 cents).

Similarly, in pence coins, a 20 cent piece and a 5 cent piece.
one of the coin is a nickel and one is a half dollar coin
There is no US coin at all that's equal to 82 cents. But you can make 82 cents if you combine 1 half-dollar, 1 quarter, 1 nickel, and 2 pennies. (50 + 25 + 5 + 2 = 82)
A dime and a half dime (a coin last minted in 1873)You may be thinking of the brain teaser "What two coins make 15 cents if one of them is not a nickel?" The answer to that question is of course a dime and a modern nickel. The dime is the one coin that's not a nickel!

A nickel and a half dollar. The OTHER coin is the nickel.
