    That's too much thinking this early in the day. I liked question #1 much better - that was a no-brainer!

    I agree!

    It's been too long since I visited USA and I can't remember how much dimes and nickels are worth. Would they be 0.10 and 0.05 of a dollar?

    nickels are worth .05 of a dollar; dimes .10 of a dollar; quarters .25 of a dollar; halves; .50 of a dollar.

    Thanks, but I think I'll let someone else solve it!

    The coins we have here are: Kr. 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, and 0,5

    When I was a child, we had coins down to 0,01. They got rid of 0,25 recently.
