293 ways to make change for a dollar

This is one of those problems you can't work out any other way but just do it.  No computer model or mathematics exist, that I know of, that can work this out.

For what it's worth, 2+9+3= 14  1+4= 5. 

The only reason I bothered looking into this is because I found this information on a slip of paper while cleaning up some detritus.  As far as I know, I wrote this on a company notepad thirteen years ago.  It must have been reasonably important enough to keep all these years and I'm sure there was more to it than simply an obscure bit of useless trivia.
