The two coins have to equal 15 cents.. sorry for not including that in the question

From what you wrote I know one of the coins is a dime. I believe you left some information out which would make it possible to solve this problem (like the total value of the coins for instance).
Update: with the information you have given one coin is a dime and the other is a nickel. :-)
Good Luck!!!

Mathematically, your sentence means "at least one is not a dime".
So you could have one dime and another coin that is not a dime, or you could have two coins that are not dimes.
If you want to express the fact that exactly one of the coins is not a dime, you would have to use the word "exactly" or another phrase that means the same thing.

This is a trick question; I hope you're joking and aware that it's a trick. Since you haven't given a sum, it could be any two coins. I'm not going to list them, since there are hundreds of different coins from all the countries that use this site.

I don't know, but the other one could be a dime.
