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.

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.

You are Anna.
Usung only pennies($.01), nickels($.05), dimes($.10), quarters($.25), and half dollars($.50) what is the largest amount of money you can have where you can’t use a combination of smaller coins to equal a larger coin? Here are examples of combinations that you couldn’t use; You couldn’t use five or more pennies because five pennies has an equal value to a nickel, you couldn’t use ten pennies with one dime and one nickel because that would equal one quarter, or you can’t use two half dollars because it would be equal to one dollar.
Here is a clue; the correct answer is not $.94.

I will just post the next one now. (Or was it then?)
“What the hell at I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?”
“Now, you are looking at now sir. Everything that happens now is happening now.”
“What happened to then?”
“We passed then.”
“When?”
“Just now!”
“When will then be now???”
“Soon!l

I gather you don't have 2 cent coins so two pennies would preclude making a full dollar with any other coins?
You are correct Anna. I saw seven pennies in the drawer. Unless there were either no pennies or an integer multiple of five pennies in the drawer it would be impossible for the money in the drawer to equal exactly $75.00.
Go ahead and leave your riddle Anna.
(I guess my riddle was rather United States-centric. The coins that are legal tender in the USA are the penny-equal to $.01, the nickel-equal to $.05, The dime-equal to $.10, the quarter-equal to $.25, the half dollar-equal to $.50, and a dollar coin-equal to $1.00. There are no half pence or two pence coins. There were some coins of the ha’penny or tuppence minted early is the history of the USA but any such coins would be very valuable to coin collectors today and not used for general circulation.)

The letter “g”.
When I was in college I worked at a Burger King where I would run the drive-thru window from 8 pm until close. As a cashier, it was my responsability to count the money in my drawer at the beginning of my shift to verify that there was $75.00 in the drawer. One day I was handed the drawer to count by a manager and I just glanced at the drawer and announced to the manager that the drawer did not have $75.00 in it.
The drawer did have money in it and when I did count the money it came to $76.32. How did I know at one glance that the drawer did not have exactly $75.00 in it?

The person that committed suicide stood on a block of ice to tie the rope to the ring in the ceiling and then around his neck. After he hanged himself the heater melted the ice.
