A nickel is worth 5 cents and a dollar is worth 100 cents.
But you already knew that, didn't you?
Could the original question be "You have two coins that equal fifty-five cents and one is not a nickel"? If so, the answer would be "one is a half-dollar (not a nickel) and the other one is a nickel".
Hmmmm. This is a trick question, huh. The two US coins that total fifty-five cents are a fifty-cent piece and a five-cent piece. The fifty-cent piece is the one that is not a nickel.
A fifty cent piece and a nickel equals 55 cents. If it's a riddle stating, "I have two coins that equals 55 cents, and one is not a nickel", the answer is still a fifty cent coin and a nickel. One is not a nickel, but the other one is.
There are two possible solutions: You could have one quarter, two dimes, two nickels and forty-five pennies, or you could have two dimes, eight nickels and forty pennies. An easy way of approaching this problem is to start by imagining that you have fifty pennies. You have the right number of coins, but are fifty cents short. Instead of adding other coins, you replace pennies with them: replacing a penny with a nickel gains four cents, a dime gains nine, and a quarter gains twenty-four. You can't possibly use more than two quarters, so there are few cases to consider there: If you replace two pennies with quarters, you've gained forty-eight cents, so you only need two more; but any further replacement will give you too much. If you use one quarter, you need to make up twenty-six more cents in steps of four or nine; it's easy to see that two of each works. Finally, with no quarters, you need to gain fifty cents using increments of four or nine; this yields the second solution.

Twenty nickels = a dollar, forty nickels = two dollars, eleven nickels = fifty-five cents, so your total is two dollars fifty-five cents.
nickel = 5 cents = 1/20 dollar 1,000/20 = 50 Answer: 50 dollars 15 cents

40 nickels make $2. A nickel is 5 cents and a dollar is 100 cents so there are 20 ( = 100/5 ) nickels in each dollar.
The number 212.50 is "two hundred twelve and fifty hundredths" (equal to one half). As US currency, the value $212.50 is "two hundred twelve dollars and fifty cents."
Four fifty cents make two dollars.
five dollars and fifty five cents.
2500
fifty-five 1 quarter = 25 cents = 5 nickels = 5 x 5 cents 11 quarters = 275 cents = 55 nickels = 55 x 5 cents
4 fifty cents makes 2 dollars.
Is there a period between the 2 and the 5? If so, this amount is twelve dollars, fifty cents. The US dollar is based on the 100 system. 100 cents make a dollar. If there is no period, then the amount is one thousand two hundred fifty dollars.
A half-dollar is $0.50 ( fifty cents); three half-dollars is 3(.50) = $1.50 ( one dollar and fifty cents)
