There are dollar coins in circulation. If you used two half dollar coins then they could be replaced by a dollar coin but the problems state that you can only use pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars.
There is a specific amount that is in whole coins. The coins are quantized, they can not be broken into smaller parts.
To clarify, if you used 4 pennies, 1 nickel, 1 dime, 1 quarter, 1 half dollar, then the sum of the values of the coins would be $.96. There is a way to make a larger sum, that is what you need to find to answer this riddle.
It has been a week so I will give the answer:
If you take 4 pennies, 4 dimes, one quarter, and one half dollar that would equal $1.19.
New riddle:
A B C
D E F
G H I
Replace each letter with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 so that the sum of each column, each row, and both diagonals is equal to 15. Each number can only be used once and all of the numbers must be used.

I have many kinds and types of keys but I unlock no locks.
Edit: Some of my keys are described by shades and tints, some of my keys are military rank and some of my keys are young people.
I don’t know if I stumped everybody or if my riddle was too easy but the answer is “I am a piano”.

Don’t you think that’s a cute little riddle?
Round on the ends and high in the middle.
You can find it on a map if you look high and low.

Somebody post a new riddle.
Two in a corner, 1 in a room, 0 in a house, but 1 in a shelter. What am I?
The letter “r”.
A few have twelve, many have four, most have six.
Edit-I did give somebody some more clues so I will share those clues; Some do have five, a few have one, there have been instances with one having two and one having three. They could have seven, eight, nine, ten and eleven but I have never seen any like those. And the numbers do not refer to engine cylinders.
It has been more than a week so I will give the answer; A Guitar 🎸. There are 12 string guitars, bass guitars have 4 strings, most guitars have 6 strings. There are 5 string basses (they have a low B string added to them). I once saw The Presidents of the United States playing on the Jenny McCarthy Show and the guitar only had 3 strings and the bass only had 2 strings. A wash tub bass guitar has only 1 string. Guitars could have 7, 8, 9 , 10 or 11 strings but I have never seen any like that.
I have no senses but no senses exist without me. I do have one sense and it should be common but unfortunately it isn’t very.

Ok, I thought this may have been a little specific, so...
She (Titanic) had four but one was for show while Lucy (Lusitania) had four that were good.
(RMS Queen)Mary has three and (RMS Queen)Elizabeth had two but poor (MS Queen)Victoria only has one.
Get it now?

Smokestacks! That was so clever! I was quessing the actual Queens and not ships.
George had two, Bill had two, George’s father had one, Ronald had two, Jimmy had one, Gerald had a half and Richard had one and a half. Who are they?
It is Former presidents of the United States and the number refers to the number of terms each president served. I could have added Barack had two, Lyndon had one and a quarter, John had three quarters and Frank had three and a quarter but I thought that would be too obvious.
Go ahead and post a riddle Gypsy.
A yes, the terms of office. Could have been siblings, with the half business, and indeed the others would have given it away.

I see nothing myself but I can help a specific person see. If the wrong person uses me, she or he won’t see as well. I usually come in pairs but my use as a single, though possible, isn’t fashionable anymore.

My strength can be measured in molarity or molality. I have to have two parts and nobody is sure why I work with some pairs and not with others. (Is this a good guess to your enigma, Gypsie?)
It contains nothing itself yet it can swallow just about anything and it can sometimes be found in pockets.

The answer is here if you can but see.
