You are talking current denominations of circulating US coins?
No. The combination of coins may include any number of the denominations dating from 1800 to the present. Clue, there are more than four denominations included in the total number of coins.

Any member who posted a guess prior to this post may guess again. A couple of members were on the right track, think outside the box.

Technically incorrect because the U. S. never struck a penny but 1916 D Merc solved it nonetheless.

2 Half Cents
1 cent
1 2 cent piece
2 3 cent pieces
1 5 cent piece, either a Half Dime or nickel is correct
1 20 cent piece
1 half dollar

Total = 85 cents

A total of six denominations in hand.

A hearty thank you to everyone who participated in this quiz.
