Actually, there's a lot more than that.

4 quarters
each quarter has 12 ways to make change for it, starting with 2 dimes and
a nickel, 2 dimes and 5 pennies, then 1 dime and 4 different mixes of
nickels and pennies, then all nickels, then mixes of nickels and pennies
(3 more), then all pennies.

since each $0.25 can have 13 different values, you actually have 13^4
(13*13*13*13), plus all dimes (not in the above mix anywhere).

So listing _only_ 293 should be a piece of cake.
