How many different ways can you produce 87 cents of change (using pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and half-dollars)?

Retard:
I'll manually count out each and every possible way.

Cashier:
There's only one way which makes sense -- three quarters, a dime, and two pennies.

Lazy cashier:
Round up to 90 cents. Hell, round it to a dollar.

Cashier at a place with an automatic change-dispensing machine:
What's change?

Neurotypical:
Do your own homework, OP.

Autistic programmer:
I'll write a program to automatically evaluate the different possible combinations. It can then be used to determine the different combinations of change for other values as well.

Extremely autistic programmer:
I'll bash the other autistic programmer's code and needlessly ``optimize'' it or perhaps even write it in another language despite the fact that it's a relatively small program no matter what language you use.

Non-American:
Who cares, your currency is going to collapse anyway.

Faggot:
It costs more than a cent to produce a penny. We should round to the nearest nickel. And who uses half-dollars anyway, aside from those weird people who collect coins and stamps?

Neo-faggot:
Fiat currency is terrible. Let's all go back to investing in gold and silver.

At last, a good post on /prog/.

The ultra autist usually include hidden Touhou references in his Lisp programs, though.

This is just an easy combinatorics problem. You can do it on paper really fast.

Don't change these.
