There are no ways using only the coins presently in circulation.
So we have to use half dollars.  There are 9 ways to have $5 in
100 coins, with no nickels.


1.  1 half dollar,  0 quarters, 39 dimes, and 60 pennies.
2.  1 half dollar,  3 quarters, 31 dimes, and 65 pennies.
3.  1 half dollar,  6 quarters, 23 dimes, and 70 pennies.
4.  1 half dollar,  9 quarters, 15 dimes, and 75 pennies.
5.  1 half dollar, 12 quarters,  7 dimes, and 80 pennies.
6.  4 half dollars, 1 quarter,  20 dimes, and 75 pennies.
7.  4 half dollars, 4 quarters, 12 dimes, and 80 pennies.
8.  4 half dollars, 7 quarters,  4 dimes, and 85 pennies.
9.  7 half dollars, 2 quarters,  1 dime,  and 90 pennies.
