what is the most money you can have in coins and still not have change for a dollar?

Answer 1

I'd take a guess with $1.19.
Any of the following combinations:
1 quarter, 9 dimes and 4 pennies.
3 quarters, 4 dimes and 4 pennies.
1 half dollar, 1 quarter, 4 dimes and 4 pennies.

Edit - lmaka above, if you had 3 quarters, 9 dimes and 4 pennies, you could indeed make change for a dollar with 2 quarters and 5 dimes.

Answer 2

The most money in coins? Any combination of change that equals $0.99 would work.

99 pennies.

9 dimes + 9 pennies

2 quarters + 2 nickles + 3 dimes + 9 pennies

All of these combinations are not change for a dollar.

Answer 3

someone earlier said "You could actually have three quarters and 9 dimes and four pennies and still not have change for a dollar." However, you could use 2 of the quarters and 5 of the dimes and you have a dollar.

The correct answer is 3 quarters, 4 dimes, 4 pennies: $1.19

Answer 4

If you mean the most in monetary value, then the answer is $.99. If you mean the greatest number of coins, then the answer is 99 pennies.

Answer 5

Hmmm ... that question is probably not as simple as it sounds. For example you could have 3 quarters and three dimes and four pennies and still not have change for a dollar. You could actually have three quarters and 9 dimes and four pennies and still not have change for a dollar. So I think the answer may be actually $1.69.

Answer 6

9 dimes 9 pennies, and 9/10 of another penny, in other words 99 cents

Answer 7

i can have a roll of Sacagawea dollars, 40 bucks and i don't have change for a dollar. i can have 10 rolls of dollar coins and have $4000 and no change.
