All dimes doesn't quite work since
+11%2A.1+=+1.1+ or $1.10
I'll try 10 dimes and 1 quarter
+10%2A.1+%2B+.25+=+1.25+ Still too low
I'll try 9 dimes and 2 quarters
+9%2A.1+%2B+.5+=+1.4+ or $1.40 is too high
I'll try 8 dimes 2 quarters and a nickel
+8%2A.1+%2B+.5+%2B+.05+=+1.35+ or $1.35 with 11 coins
OK
