enumerate the types (i.e. penny,nickel,dime,quarter,1/2 dollar and give them thier appropriate values) Then figure out how many pennys can exist in a dollar, a nickel, etc...
then how many nickels are in a dime, quarter etc and so on and so on. Then it is just a combinatorics equation to figure out how many combinations of pennys,nickels... exist in one dollar
