Loose Change

DESCRIPTION:

Welcome young Jedi! In this Kata you must create a function that takes an amount of US currency in cents, and returns a dictionary/hash which shows the least amount of coins used to make up that amount. The only coin denominations considered in this exercise are: Pennies (1¢), Nickels (5¢), Dimes (10¢) and Quarters (25¢). Therefor the dictionary returned should contain exactly 4 key/value pairs.

Notes:

• If the function is passed either 0 or a negative number, the function should return the dictionary with all values equal to 0.
• If a float is passed into the function, its value should be rounded down, and the resulting dictionary should never contain fractions of a coin.

Examples

loose_change(56)    ==>  {'Nickels': 1, 'Pennies': 1, 'Dimes': 0, 'Quarters': 2}
loose_change(-435)  ==>  {'Nickels': 0, 'Pennies': 0, 'Dimes': 0, 'Quarters': 0}
loose_change(4.935) ==>  {'Nickels': 0, 'Pennies': 4, 'Dimes': 0, 'Quarters': 0}
