Let's clarify the question. I assume the allowable coins are:
half dollar
quarter
dime
nickel
cent
In that case the most you can have in coins without having change for a dollar is:
1 half dollar
1 quarter
4 dimes
4 cents
50 + 25 + 4*10 + 4*1 = 50 + 25 + 40 + 4 = $1.19

if you have dollar coins, you can have as much money as you want without having change for a dollar.

In the good old days, you could have 99 cents, in loose change. But now, I think you can only have 95 cents, or 90 cents !
