Hmmmm. This is a trick question, huh. The two US Coins that total fifty-five cents are a fifty-cent piece and a five-cent piece. The fifty-cent piece is the one that is not a nickel.
Could the original question be "You have two coins that equal fifty-five cents and one is not a nickel"? If so, the answer would be "one is a half-dollar (not a nickel) and the other one is a nickel".
A fifty cent piece and a nickel equals 55 cents. If it's a riddle stating, "I have two coins that equals 55 cents, and one is not a nickel", the answer is still a fifty cent coin and a nickel. One is not a nickel, but the other one is.
A fifty pence and a ten pence. the one that is not a fifty pence is the ten.
A nickel is worth 5 cents and a dollar is worth 100 cents. But you already knew that, didn't you?
There are two possible solutions: You could have one quarter, two dimes, two nickels and forty-five pennies, or you could have two dimes, eight nickels and forty pennies. An easy way of approaching this problem is to start by imagining that you have fifty pennies. You have the right number of coins, but are fifty cents short. Instead of adding other coins, you replace pennies with them: replacing a penny with a nickel gains four cents, a dime gains nine, and a quarter gains twenty-four. You can't possibly use more than two quarters, so there are few cases to consider there: If you replace two pennies with quarters, you've gained forty-eight cents, so you only need two more; but any further replacement will give you too much. If you use one quarter, you need to make up twenty-six more cents in steps of four or nine; it's easy to see that two of each works. Finally, with no quarters, you need to gain fifty cents using increments of four or nine; this yields the second solution.
A fifty cent piece and a nickel.
two quarters, that's simple.

You have a half dollar and a nickel. One of them, the half dollar, is not a nickel.
one of the coin is a nickel and one is a half dollar coin
A fifty cent peice and a nickel. The question simple asked if ONE was not a nickel, not if either wasn't a nickel.
A fifty pence and a ten pence. the one that is not a fifty pence is the ten.
That would be a half-dollar and a nickel. One is not a nickel, the other one is.
