Subject: [seqfan] Currency puzzle

Frobenia has a currency based on the blatz, in the following denominations:

 

1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 8, 8, 16, 16, 32, 32, 64, 64, .

 

A value listed once is available only as a coin.

A value listed twice as a coin and a bill, counted as distinct denominations.

How many ways are there to make change for N blatz using distinct denominations?
