I came back to think about this and I noticed a mistake:

That should have been:

... that can't be paid with less than three coins.

I suppose it's possible that the tenth value might be zero? But then
the problem statement would have been "that can't be paid with one or
two coins" and we would have an implicit constraint against a "0"
coin. I do have that implicit constraint in my implementation in this
thread, but... I can't quite make sense of 0 being the tenth value we
couldn't pay with less than three coins...

Not sure if this is of any help, though.
