You can’t give quarters in change if there are no quarters in the drawer. If you have one dollar and one penny in your drawer, it is impossible to make 50 cents of correct change.

It’s one of those things that sound so obvious you start to wonder how you missed that.

Thanks to you I’ve completed the challenge
