You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your pocket can hold :
40+pennies, 8 nickels, and 2 dimes for a total of 50+coins adding up to
$1.00+=%28.40+%2B+8%28.05%29%2B+2%28.10%29%29
$1.00+=%28.40+%2B+.40+%2B+.20%29
or
45 pennies, 2 nickels, 2 dimes, and 1 quarter
$1.00+=%28.45+%2B+2%28.05%29%2B+2%28.10%29%2B+%28.25%29%29

$1.00=%28.45+%2B+.10+%2B+.20+%2B+.25%29+
