US coins have different thicknesses as specified below:
| Penny | 1.55 mm |
| Nickel | 1.95 mm |
| Dime | 1.35 mm |
| Quarter | 1.75 mm |
Two stacks of coins may have the same height but a different number of coins. For example, a stack of 39 pennies has a height of 39 × 1.55 = 60.45 mm, and a stack of 31 nickels also has a height of 31 × 1.95 = 60.45 mm. Find the smallest number of dimes and quarters that can likewise be made into two stacks the same height.
