Message:: [QUOTE="davidh, post: 2092254, member: 15062"]Funny that some resort to caps and bold to push their opinion.  That's a sign of fighting a lost cause. It's also funny that justifying the use of the word "cent" just because that word is on the coin (which bears the words "one cent"), while justifying the name "nickel" for the five cent coin (bearing the words "five cents") because it's made of the metal nickel.  With that logic the one cent coin should be called a copper (or zinc). US coins have values and names: $0.01 coin - value one cent - name Penny$0.05 coin - value five cents - name Nickel$0.10 coin - value ten cents - name Dime$0.25 coin - value twenty-five cents - name Quarter$0.50 coin - value fifty cents - name Half Dollar$1.00 coin - value one hundred cents - Dollar (coin) The word you use depends only on whether you're referring to the coin's value, or its name.[/QUOTE]
