You are in charge of the national mint of your nation, and you want to come up with a way to be able to make change with at most 2 physical coins. Printing money is expensive though, so you want to be able to do this with as few types of coins as possible.

[b]What is the smallest number of unique coins needed for every value between 1¢ and 100¢ to be a combination of 1 or 2 coins? And which coins would you need?[/b]

[i](Hint: This can easily be done with 18 coins of values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90. Figure out how to do it with fewer.)[/i]
