// since they're all integers, well within JS number range,
// and this is way more efficient in a tight loop.
// Another note: While this greedy algorithm possibly works for all major denominations,
// it still requires a fallback for cases where it might not provide any solution.
// Example: Denominations: [3, 5, 10] | User inputs 4 times the [3] button, resulting in a 12 fiat tx
// This algorithm resolves for 1 x [10], and can't resolve the remainder of 2
