'Coins in a Box'
This one is super lame, as in: I understood the coins are adding up, so thinking a penny is 5, a dime is 10 and a penny and a dime are 15 cents together, the next coin should be 20 cents. But as an European (Dutch), how can I see which coin is correct?
Even if a penny and a dime have a different value than what I think, it still isn't possible to get this one good unless it's your country's currency.

It's SUPPOSED to refer to binary
a penny is 1, dime is 10, dollar is 100
the way they phrase it it goes: 001, 010, 011, 100

That correct solution is garbage though since the correct binary sequence as a string of three bits would be:
100
010
110
001

This frakked me off no end.

The solution is little-endian not big-endian.

001
010
011
100

Ok, and which one is a dollar? It does not show name or anything? I mean Penny is bigger than Dime, then which one is the Dollar????

That's a pretty lame puzzle. Expecting every player now the AMERICAN money system and can recognize every coin, AND now it's value...

Seriously, all players are not from US !

Agreed, this was super difficult for all the wrong reasons O.o As a European I have no idea about USA coin system aside of dollars and cents, and I don't even know how those look like. I had to use hints, and basically just guess in the end.

I agree. I'm from the US and still didn't know how to solve it, because I never clued into the binary part of the puzzle.

Even then, after getting the hint, it still wasn't super-intuitive since dollar coins haven't been common here in decades.

At least a little descriptor or something about which coin was which, would have gone a long way to providing necessary clues to solving this puzzle.
