Calculate Coin Count in Java

// This class illustrates techniques for calculating the number of different 
//  combinations of coins that can be used to reach a specific amount of money.
// In England the currency is made up of pounds, £ (dollars), and pence, p (pennies).
// There are commonly 8 types of coins in general circulation:
// 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 (100p) and £2 (200p).

/**
 *  This is serious brute force. It's optimized a little bit because we are
 *   checking the limit for each coin counter.
