  1. The demoninations are not guaranteed to contain a penny, as this might be for Japanese Yen, which do not use fractional currency (smallest unit is 1 Yen). Fortunately, you are not required to give "change" for these trifling units smaller than the smallest "coin" or "bill".
  2. 2,250 may add up to $22.50, but it is not a valid solution. You would get this if you fed the currency into the function backwards, though. As ZZamboni points out, proceed in order from largest to smallest and all will be well.
