# 'Count the coins' is a poor name for the task anyway, especially if you are going to have a restriction that order matters. By definition order doesn't matter when making change. It isn't counting coins, it's counting sums.
Stated another way; say, for instance, you were assembling power packs from different canisters of highly reactive fuel. Once you opened a canister, you must use all of it and the power pack has a tightly defined capacity requirement. Your power pack needs to have a capacity of 6 power units and you have fuel canisters with [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] units of fuel. How many ways can you resupply the power pack? Now. How is ''that'' problem substantially different
