You have two American coins in your pocket that equal 55 cents. One is not a nickel. What is the denomination of each coin?

a loonie is not shocking? but you have never heard of a half-dollar? fifty cent pieces are common compared to a 2 dollar bill...

How did you not know the answer to this riddle? I really wish they'd stop giving the special ed kids access to ATOT.

I have an old half-dime at home, and maybe a 2-cent piece. It's been a while since I looked at the old coins, though.
