p, n, d, q the count of each coin

0.01p%2B0.05n%2B0.1d%2B0.25q=10.17
p%2B5n%2B10d%2B25q=1017

Coin Count: p%2Bn%2Bd%2Bq=327

number of nickels equals the sum of quadruple the number of quarters and half the number of dimes: n=4q%2Bd%2F2, but that part is ambiguous.

pennies equals the sum of triple the number of nickels ,double the dimes,and the product of three and the number of quarters less one.:
p=3n%2B2d%2B3%2A%281-q%29 but this too may be ambiguous.

The system seems to be system%28p%2B5n%2B10d%2B25q=1017%2Cp%2Bn%2Bd%2Bq=327%2Cn=4q%2Bd%2F2%2Cp=3n%2B2d%2B3-3q%29.
Work with this system any way you know. If it does not work to give positive whole numbers only, then you'll need to think about those unclear description parts.
