What is the greatest amount of money you can have but still not be able to make exact change for a dollar?

Answer

Depends upon the parameters of the question.

If you can have bills, the amount is unlimited as long as you don't have a dollar bill.

In Canada, you can have an unlimited amount with coins, as long as they are all 'twonies.'

[Other countries, like Canada, with dollar coins can have an unlimited amount of these as well without being able to make change for a dollar, i.e. change a dollar for multiple coins whose sum total is worth a dollar.]

Answer

one quarter, nine dimes, and four pennies. not 3 quarters, because if you take two quarters and five dimes you have a dollar.

so $1.19.

you could also make a combination of 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, which would still equal $1.19.

99 pennies
