1 quarter     = $.25
3 dimes       =  .30
1 half dollar =  .50
----------------------
               $1.05

Cannot change a nickel for you have no pennies
Cannot change a dime, for you have no nickels or pennies
Cannot change a quarter with only dimes.
Cannot change a half dollar, for you have only one quarter,
 and dimes cannot make up the remaining 25 cents
Cannot change a dollar, for no combination gives that.
