Yes, but only for a short time. It was only minted from 1875-1878 and was only released for general circulation in 1875 and 1876. It was designed to compete with the Swiss Franc as an international currency. However, it was very easily confused with the quarter (like the unpopular Susan B Anthony dollar), despite its slightly smaller size and the use of a plain rather than a reeded edge. 20 cent pieces are all collectable and sell for prices well above melt value.

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.
