The puzzle is normally "What two coins make 55 cents if one is not a nickel?" The answer of course is a half dollar and a nickel, because the half dollar is the one that's not a nickel - nothing is said about BOTH not being nickels!

Otherwise the answer is straightforward: three dimes and one quarter.
