I was looking at three 3 Cent pieces that I have and started to think how many different combinations of US coins can you use to make up 9 cents?? I considered a nickel and half dime as the same even though it can be argued that they are different denominations. (Yes, I think I need another hobby)

I'll give it some time for people to try to figure it out on their own then I'll post what I came up with...I hope I'm right. This rain needs to stop.

No point just bored...I think I'm getting cabin fever with all the rain on the east coast.

By the way I forgot about the half cent so my numbers are way off.

Okay so I'm the only crazy one. I came up with 62 different denomination combinations of US coins to get to 9 cents. If you take out the half cent there are only 16.

the most coins you can use to make
.9 cents would be 18 half cents !

And the least would be three coins: three trimes or a nickel, trime and penny.
