Shouldn't this be $221.475?

Ah ok.

This may be one where fully understanding the question is more difficult than actually answering it.....
For instance:
Are the Silver 3-cent piece and the Nickel 3-cent piece the same denomination?? Gold and Silver dollar? Nickel 5-cent and half-dime?
Contrary to the answer I think I might get, they really are the same 'denomination'. (If you don't think they are, then toss in the 1-cent copper-nickel, bronze, and steel as a separate ones.

Something like the dollar coins whether they be Morgans, silver eagles, etc. would all be the same. So the various denominations are $100, $50, $25, $20, $10, $5, etc. and so on and so forth. That's $210 already.
My nephew came up with $214.46
That was before I reminded him of the half cent.

<< <i>I got 121.665....but I counted the bullion coins, and may have messed up the denominations.
Um....221.665. I can't even read my own work.

So I agree it's $221.665 .

I either added wrong or forgot the 19 cent coin!

It could be the planchet size, or a denomination from one of the two dies (or maybe the edge die, too?).
But I think if you just pick one of those as the denomination, it does not add any new denomination to the set.
I don't believe in adding or averaging these sources to obtain a new denomination.
I included the $4 Stella, since the original post didn't specify coins for circulation only.
I didn't include foreign denominated coins manufactured by the US Mint, such as the 1000 Kroner or Philippines coins.
These denoms would require an exchange rate to add to the others.

<< <i>$44.165 not counting commems or bullion. >>
One coin short, I think.
But also, if you include patterns like I believe the $4 is, then you have the $50 in patterns (not just the Pan-Pac commem).

I'm not counting 2 coins of the same denomination, like nickels & half dimes, or silver & gold dollars. I only counted 5¢ and $1 once.
I did count the Stella. If I take it out as a pattern, then I get $40.165.5

$50 is easily covered by bullion strikes.
One could punt and state two figures with and with $4. I'm an include it as it's a coin type of person.

Perhaps an apology thread regarding this transgression is now due.

Braddick, hope things start going better in your life.

No , I was up at 4 A.M. primarily because I fell asleep early after exhausting myself searching through rolls of Susan B. Anthony dollars for the elusive near date, last evening.
