Isn't a dollar coin considered change?
If anyone offered me a dollar coin as "change" for a dollar bill,
then I'd consider him to be making a joke.

But there are vending machines that no accept dollar coins.
And sometimes the paper readers on such machines are
defective, making a dollar coin acceptable as change for a
paper dollar.

However the OP wrote:

"For the sake of this program (and David Letterman ;-) , we can
only use pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and halves. David
is *not* smart enough to know about 2 and 3 cent pieces."

Does the 293 ways include the dollar coin or not?
