"I've 2 coins which add up to 55 cents. One of them is not a nickle. what are the coins?"

-cheers

It is an "aha" puzzle.  Read EVERY word in the puzzle carefully, it is not as restrictive as you think.

Be sure to read every word, and then read every other word.

This might be more of a haha puzzle, than an aha puzzle.

Yeah, neither is a nickle,
And neither is a pickle.
So people who can spell
can solve this very well.

Pay attention to the second last sentence, and maybe you'll come up with one possibility.
