What the problem*actually* says is that the denominational system is strictly a place-value system of arbitrary base. So all of the denominations will be powers of the base. The example is in base-10, and specifically lists only powers of 10, not multiples of those powers. So, no $20 bills, $0.25 bills, etc.
Okay, that makes sense. I didn't get that from the original post, but that would definitely make the problem a lot easier. You're basically just converting to whatever base you're using, and then using each digit as a number of bills for its place value.
