Coins are Fun!
I have pennies (1 cent), nickels (5 cents) , dimes (10 cents), quarters (25 cents) and half-dollars (50 cents) in my pocket.
Using any of these coins, I want 8 coins to sum up to 60 cents.
I can use 4 nickels and 4 dimes to accomplish this task.
Are there any other ways?

(i) 2 quarters, a nickel, and 5 pennies and (ii) a quarter and 7 nickels are the only other ways of achieving 60 cents with 8 coins.
