Just Keep the Change (Posted on 2003-06-15)

In a certain country, it takes a minimum of exactly 5 coins to make 13 cents, and a minimum of exactly 4 coins to make 14 cents.

What are the denominations of the coins (of value less than 15 cents) in this country?

Bonus: What country is it?

My solution also requires that there are no 1 cent or 10 cent coins in circulation, eliminating the possibility that it's England.
