I have two us coins totaling 55 cents One is not a nickel what are the coins?

It is impossible, since no coin + half dollar = 5 cents besides a nickel. 1,5,10,25,50, $1 are the coin denominations of today. However, if you used a half dime, it could technically work out, as 50 half dollar + 5 half dime = 55 cents. A half dime is a coin worth 5 cents. A nickel today, is just a name for 5 cent coins. For example cent or penny is a name for a 1 cent piece as a dime is a name for a 10 cent piece etal. Todays nickel is made of copper and silver.


Why is a dime so small but a nickel so big but the dime is worth more?

The reason is because the dime used to be made of silver, while the nickel has always been a copper/nickel blend. Silver is worth more, which is why the coin could be smaller, but worth more. There used to be a silver half-dime, but the coin was so small that it was replaced by the nickel.

How do you get 55 cents from 2 coins if 1 can't be a nickel?

There are 2 ways of answering it, first is this is usually some form of a "trick question" where the answer is, "a half dollar and a nickel, because the half isn't a nickel". However, a more technical answer would be that you would have one half dollar and one half-dime (half dimes were minted from 1792-1873, they were small 90% silver coins half the weight of a dime, the nickel is much larger and started being minted in 1866 and is 75% copper and 25% nickel)


Why is a dime smarter than a nickel?

The information given below is very interesting but it doesn't answer this question, which is a neat little riddle...More information about dimes and nickelsIt used to be that coins were made in an alloy close to their value. Before the nickel was introduced in 1866, the US used a small coin called a "Half Dime" which was thinner and smaller than a dime and it was struck in silver. Due to pressure from the nickel lobby, the US eventually started minting several denominations in nickel, the three cent piece in 1865 (replacing the tiny silver three cent piece) and also introducing nickel into the small cents (the Flying Eagles and the early Indian Heads) . The nickel was larger because nickel was much less expensive than silver and so you'd need a larger coin to get about the same value as the half dime. The half dime continued to circulate with the nickel until 1873 when the half-dime was discontinued.And more ...The joke is (drum roll) that a dime has twice as much "cents" (ba-DING!)
