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".
A nickel is worth 5 cents and a dollar is worth 100 cents. But you already knew that, didn't you?
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.
A fifty pence and a ten pence. the one that is not a fifty pence is the ten.
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.
Three dimes, three nickels, five pennies
Twenty nickels = a dollar, forty nickels = two dollars, eleven nickels = fifty-five cents, so your total is two dollars fifty-five cents.

it is impossible to get exactly one dollar with fifty coins. It requires half a nickel and half a penny, which is impossible (12.5 nickels and 37.5 pennies) if there are 12 nickels and 38 pennies, you get 98 cents if there are 13 nickels and 37 pennies, you get 102 cents
four dimes equal 40 cents ten nickels equal fifty cents ten pennies equal 10 cents Add the 3 groups of coins for one dollar
fifty-five 1 quarter = 25 cents = 5 nickels = 5 x 5 cents 11 quarters = 275 cents = 55 nickels = 55 x 5 cents
Fifty Cent piece, quarter, penny
Assuming that you are referring only to currently circulating denominations (1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents and 50 cents), there are two possible combinations: 45 pennies, 2 nickels, 2 dimes, 1 and quarter and 40 pennies, 8 nickels and 2 dimes If you are including obsolete US denominations (1/2 cent, 2 cents, 3 cents, and 20 cents), there are many more possible combinations, including, among others, fifty 2 cent pieces.

A nickel is worth 5 cents and a dollar is worth 100 cents. But you already knew that, didn't you?
A fifty cent piece and six pennies.
The word "Cents" is a form of money. As in "Dollars". Cents is the value of coins such as fifty cents...or 32 cents
