monetary amounts in java

[OCD]

I have to write a program to prompt for a monetary amount from a user and then change that amount into 10 dollar bills, 5 dollar bills, one dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.
I wrote the program but sometimes it is one penny off. I have read some previous discussions about this which told me to use the BigDecimal class or swing classes but i havent learned about those yet in my class.I was wondering if there are any simpler solutions to the problem.

Post your code and we'll see if it cannot be modified to give the correct solution.

Hey, is this the change problem where you have to give the least amount of coins?

[OCD]

you have to give the least amount of 10 dollar bills, 5 dollar bills, one dollar bills, quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies not just coins

Yeah well it's just the same principle. This kind of problem was posted again last week and this was the initial attempt at it I posted. See if you can understand it.

 
import java.util.Scanner; //You have to import Scanner if you want to use it
class One {
public static void main(String[] args) {
                Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the amount: ");
double amount = scanner.nextDouble(); //Java is case sensitive so nextDouble() != nextdouble
//You set the coins and/or notes denominations here
                // 1c     5c  10c  25c   50c  $1  $5 $10
double[] coins = {0.01, 0.05, .1,  0.25, 0.5,  1,  5, 10}; //Put your denominations here
double[] soln = new double[coins.length];
double current = 0.0;
int i = coins.length - 1;
while(i >= 0) {
double val = coins[i];
while((val + current) <= amount) {
current = current + val;
soln[i] = soln[i] + coins[i];
}
i--;
}
System.out.println(current); // Check this value for amounts containing .1
for(int j = 0;j < coins.length; j++) {
System.out.println(coins[j] + " : " + soln[j] / coins[j]);
}
 
}
}
