Barbara's brother is holding $15.00 worth of half dollar coins, some coins in each hand. He says that he'll give her the money if she can guess the amount of money in either hand. He gives her the following clues: The difference between the two amounts is that $4.00, and the coins in the right hand are heavier than those in the left hand.
