to have ¢ 55 in coins without using a ¢50 coin ...u will need at least 3 coins
so it's imposible that u have ¢55 into coin without having a ¢50
so the two coins is ¢50 , ¢5
**********
any way if u dont want to mention ¢50 u can say " half dollar" $ 1/2

The one in your hand that is not a 50 cent piece is a nickel, and the other coin is a 50 cent piece.

One is a 50-cent piece. the different one you could not tell. you have 3 money on your hand, however the fifty 5 cents purely incorporates 2 of them you recognize this via fact the fifty 5 cents from 2 money incorporates the nickel, yet after figuring out the nickel, you assert 'different 2 money' (so 3 money entire). the different one may well be any of denomination, via fact the fifty 5-cent volume would not incorporate this 0.33 coin. -------------- even which incorporate your mistake, i'm nonetheless suited related to the 50-cent piece.

This was old when I was still young.
One of the coins is NOT a half dollar and one of the coins is. The one that is NOT is a nickel. But, is it an Indian Head nickel or not..that is the question.
:P

One is not but the other is the half dollar coin, other being the nickel. Sorry but neither a math question nor too clever.

one of the coins isn't a half dollar because its a nickle.
It didn't say that neither of the coins was a half dollar, it only stated that one of the coins wasn't a half dollar.

I would say that you are not holding US currency at all but some other currency which has a value of 55 cents.
