If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have $1.19, the largest amount of money in coins you could have without being able to make change for a dollar.

3 quarters, 4 dimes and 4 pennies totaling $1.19 is correct, but not a unique answer. Can also have 1 quarter, 9 dimes, and 4 pennies (14 coins, $1.19 total), or 1 half dollar, 1 quarter, 4 dimes and 4 pennies (10 coins, $1.19 total) and not be able to make change for a dollar.
