I think it is ok...

One nickel (5 cents) + Two dimes (10+10 cents) + ONE Quarter (250 cents).

As you can see, I've used just ONE quarter! (instead quarter's)

i was hoping you would show logic to show what must be correct, and point out why it must be what you said, but i gusse you must have heared this one before :/

logic to show...?! C'mon, the conclusion is obvious: there isn't a different way to make 50 cents using 4 coins.

I just had to read 3 or 4 times to get
- it was a "funny problem" ,
- and I couldn't "use quarter's"...

It took about 3 minutes to solve this problem.

Well. if you really like logic problems, try to solve this one:

You used apostorphe to pluralize. That is a no-no!

So yeah, one quarter, and 5 nickels for all I care. 4 coin's? What do they own? Value lol.
