Script that counts quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies












0












$begingroup$


I am learning python and I wrote a script that counts how many coins you would need for an amount in dollars. I was wondering if I could make any improvements to it.



def change():
amnt = float(input("Enter an amount in USD: "))
quarters = divmod(amnt, 0.25)
print("Quarters: ", quarters[0])
amnt = round(quarters[1], 2)
dimes = divmod(amnt, 0.10)
print("Dimes: ", dimes[0])
amnt = round(dimes[1], 2)
nickels = divmod(amnt, 0.
print("Nickels: ", nickels[0])
amnt = round(nickels[1], 2)
penny = divmod(amnt, 0.01)
print("Pennies", penny[0])
change()
