Indeed!

Between 1875 and 1878, the US produced 20 cent pieces. They are also very valuable and rare. Here is a link below so you can view a picture and statistics about every 20 cent coin minted in US history along with how much they are worth based on their condition.

MoreThe 20¢ denomination was intended to move US coinage to a true decimal system based on factors of 10, similar to that adopted later by most countries around the world. The Mint made three enormous mistakes, though - the new coin carried exactly the same design as the quarter, was almost the same size, and they kept minting standard quarters as well. People confused the 2 coins which caused a lot of cases of under- or over-payment, so the new denomination was quickly discontinued.

Is there proof that there is 291 ways to make change for a dollar?

No there is not and there cannot be. There are a number of countries which use a dollar as its major currency unit. Among these are Australia and the US. Australia has a 20 cent coin but not a 25 cent coin whereas the US has a 25 cent coin but not a 20 cent coin. Also the smallest Australian coin is a 5 cent coin. The number of ways of making change for a dollar in Australia and US will, therefore, be different.

The answer depends on the country or region that you are referring to. For example, the US has a 25 cent coin but not a 20 cent coin. The Eurozone, on the other hand, has a 20 cent coin but not a 25. And since you have not bothered to clarify the region, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
