Answer 1

If you are overriding equals method, then your above code is not correctly overriding equals method.

use below code instead for overriding equals--

public boolean equals(Object currency) {

Currency newref = null;

if (currency instanceof Currency) {
  newref = (Currency)currency;
}
return (this.dollars == newref.dollars) && (this.cents == newref.cents);
}
