yo I need help, where is my mistake?
Your code so far

function checkCashRegister(price, cash, cid) {
  let change = cash*100 - price*100;
  let cidTotal = 0
  for (let elem of cid){
    cidTotal += elem[1]*100
  }
  if (change > cidTotal){
    return {status: "INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS", change:[]}
  } else if (change === cidTotal){
    return {status: "CLOSED", change: cid}
  } else {
    let answer = []
  cid = cid.reverse()
  let moneyUnits = {
    "ONE HUNDRED": 10000,
    "TWENTY": 2000,
    "TEN": 1000,
    "FIVE": 500,
    "ONE": 100,
    "QUARTER": 25,
    "DIME": 10,
    "NICKEL": 5,
    "PENNY": 1
  }
  for (let elem of cid) {
    let holder = [elem[0], 0]
    elem[1] = elem[1]*100
    while (change => moneyUnits[elem[0]] && elem[1] > 0){
change -= moneyUnits[elem[0]]
elem[1] -= moneyUnits[elem[0]]
holder[1] += moneyUnits[elem[0]]/100  }
if (holder[1]>0){
  answer.push(holder)
}
  } if (change > 0) {
    return {status: "INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS", change:[]}
  }
  return {status: "OPEN", change: answer}
  }
}

checkCashRegister(19.5, 20, [["PENNY", 1.01], ["NICKEL", 2.05], ["DIME", 3.1], ["QUARTER", 4.25], ["ONE", 90], ["FIVE", 55], ["TEN", 20], ["TWENTY", 60], ["ONE HUNDRED", 100]]);

hi there,
I added some of the missing semi-colons in your code and the following message revealed itself:

Potential infinite loop detected on line 28. Tests may fail if this is not changed.
Potential infinite loop detected on line 25. Tests may fail if this is not changed.

I suggest you add all your missing semi-colons and then you should see this message too.
Then try to examine your loops.
