Let me cut out the code, as frankly it's a *huge* distraction from your
question.  Here is the question you are asking:

---
I want to take the max value in the dictionary 'coinvalues'  that is the
same as or lower than the variable 'change'.  I have no idea how to search
through the 'coinvalues' dictionary and find the value that is highest but
does not exceed the value held in the variable 'change'.

Do you already know how to trailer the maximum or minimum of a list of
numbers?
