    It is my understanding that the cent is money. It has a denomination, and is used to purchase goods, and services.
    I actually do have a few cents in my pocket right now, and receive them often as change from various transactions.

    You are the first here who said this. (We'll come back to your understanding that the cent is money and how you use it. But, first, let me respone @green18 )

    @green18, what is that video "Wheels on Bus" above about? Why did you post it here? What did you mean by posting it here? For fun and to tell Erol to grow? Yours is a video for babies. When they grow a little more they learn this by singing:



    With this song video viewed millions of times globally on the internet, those 7 years old kids learn what you know.
    And, they stop learning the money like you had done long time ago.
    When it comes to understanding coin/money, people in general, even 77 years old people, are still at 7 years old.

    Quite right Erol. But your dribble is just nursery rhymes. This thread keeps going 'round, round, round. Sorry if that's a bit too direct.

    It is true, this thread is all about "one one one...". But, each "one" has been told in this thread from many different point of views, from history to linguistics to mathematics to physics to work & safety, etc etc. (still, you do not have "one".)

    Ps: it is late here in the night, am gonna sleep. good night.

    Be sure to place a cent under your pillow to protect you from bitcoins :)

    @Johndoe2000$ liked that you said. Eh, he has the cent in his pocket.
    What about you? You have a bit coin? Where is it? Under your pillow? (lol)
    Btw, is there no "one" in bit coin?

    You, probably a computer engineer, must know it better.
    What is the equivalence of the "nickel" number in BInarydigiT number?
    "5" in CentCoin = "101" in BITcoin, isn't it?
    In BitCoin, you see more "1" than in CentCoin.
    In CentCoin, "1" is usually seen as "small" while in BitCoin it is more about "existence/non-existence" as you know.
    Anyway, CentCoin is more mechanical numbers while BitCoin is more electronical numbers. It doesn't matter, they both have "one" at their every points. Whatever you name it, whether you name "cent" or "bit", their units are "1" cent or "1" bit.

    This thread could use a few more coins without numbers to liven it up. What's a thread without coin pics?

    ptolemy_ix.jpg
    Cleopatra III and Ptolemy IX
    AR Tetradrachm
    108 BCE

    *although the coin has no mark of value, the LH on the reverse denotes this coin was minted during the 8th year of Cleopatra III and Ptolemy IX's joint rule.


    cistophorus 6.jpg
    Mysia, Pergamon
    AR Cistophoric Tetradrachm
    Circa 76-67 BCE

    * Great coin for snake lovers. The snake on the obverse, on the Cysta Mystica might symbolize the penis of the God Dionisus/Bacchus. Who says the ancients didn't have a sense of humor?

    Snakes? Humor coin? It must be a typo error. It looks more of a Horror coin.

    Right on. Posters here are showing bla bla off-coin pics, animation gifs, video clips, etc., but, they're showing no any penny picture. They can't, because they don't have a penny.

    I don't know old coins, but, here is some side info. That "signature/stamp" on the Observe face is, as you probably know, Ottoman's empire stamp/signature that we call it "Tugra" in Turkish. By the way, "Head or Tail" in Turkish is "Yazi or Tura" which means "Writing or Stamp/Signature". But, "Tugra or Tura" in old Turkic originally means "Tag", which was stamped on animals, usually, on horses, my guess. So, that Ottoman Tugra/Stamp probably comes from an old Turkic "Horse Tag", or "Dog Tag".

    While you started it, let me show an older Turkic coin.
    Here is a GokTurks (Sky/Blue/Celestial Turks) coin:

    gokturkcoin.jpg
    576-600 AD.

    Alphabet on the coin is Orkhon (old Turkic runic) alphabet which I don't know to read. Scholars who read the insrciption on it, say what is written on it is "Emre Besen Ille Serib" in old Turkic which I can read and translate to today Turkish as "Emredildi, Basildi, Ile Serildi/Yayildi" which I can translate into English as "Ordered, Minted and Distributed/Circulated in the Country." By the way, notice Crescent&Star on the coin which are widely known (falsely) as Islamic symbols. But, as seen in this coin which is a pre-Islamic Turkic coin, Crescent&Star existed before Islam, so, they are not Islamic symbol, but, Turkic symbol. Anyway, I am not good in reading old alphabets, but, it seems that there is no numerals on this coin either. Maybe, those three round notches on the coin was numeral values?, who knows.

    The coin I posted is not as old as the one you posted. I got it recently in a bag of coins as part of a bulk purchase. I think it is Turkish in the early 1800's and the numbers are in the system used then which denotes the particular year of a ruler's reign.
