50 x 4 penny = 200 penny. 200 pennies in $2.

Penny (d) is a term used to denote nail size.

I am pretty sure the answer is nails, but I think the values you provided are wrong.

 

[AntaresVI]

Actually I think it's house numbers. Buying one digit is $1, 2 digits is $2, 3 digits is $3. Duh.

 

[minendo]

1 for a dollar is a 100d nail, 50 for 2 dollars is 4d nail, and the third one does not add up.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

hes getting screwed if he only has a dollar.... I agree with LeRocks though with the house numbers

 

[Rage187]

House numbers sounds right.

$1 a number

#1=$1

#50=$2

#200=$3
