There are only 5 possible ways.  There aren't 6.

1.    3 dimes, 12 nickels and 10 pennies.
2.    7 dimes,  3 nickels and 15 pennies.
3.    1 quarter, 3 dimes, 6 nickels and 15 pennies.
4.    2 quarters, 3 dimes and 20 pennies.  
5.    1 half dollar, 2 dimes, 2 nickels, and 20 pennies.

There just aren't any more!
