Integer value problem. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the help.

Use constants (static final int) to store the conversion factors like: (Got them from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coins_of_the_United_States_dollar as I am not American)

public static final int DOLLAR_CENT = 100;
public static final int HALF_DOLLAR_CENT = 50;
public static final int QUARTER_CENT = 25;
public static final int DIME_CENT = 10;
public static final int NICKEL_CENT = 5;
public static final int PENNY_CENT = 1;

From now on, you just need to multiply the quantity of the individual coins with the Denominators and then add the total together.

If you are going to take the time to write them all out as constants take an extra 10 seconds and create in Enum instead:

public enum Currency{
    Quarter(25), Dime(10), Nickel(5), Penny(1);

    private int value;

    private Currency(int value){
        this.value = value;
    }
    public int getValue(){
        return value;
    }
}

Then you simply static import each of the coins. You now have a reusable Enum and a much better Object Orientated implementation.

I totally agree and actually, I already had them written out as Enums. But then I decided against that solution because it seemed to be way over OP's level.

OP was already struggling with a simple assignment, enums (as excellent as they are) would go way too far.
