Ken's Puzzle of the Week

Which coins?

I have 19 coins in my pocket which total $1.00.  You have 15 coins in yours that also total $1.00.  Yet you have more nickels, dimes and quarters than I do.  What coins do each of us have?  (Two different solutions.  All coins are pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters or half-dollars.)
