<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 664648, member: 16948&quot;]I&#039;d bet you&#039;d be wrong.&nbsp; I&#039;d even bet that 99% of the entire country, not just coin collectors, uses the term penny instead of cent.&nbsp; Believe me, with my company name, I hear it often enough, and (I mean this in a friendly way) it seems it&#039;s usually only a few picky-oony coin collectors who are the ones who feel the need to correct the rest of us. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Penny&quot; has become a common term, whether technically accurate or not, and it&#039;s not going anywhere, no matter how many times this discussion comes up.&nbsp; Kids learn it from their parents, who learned it from their parents, and I&#039;m sure they all weren&#039;t coin collectors.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever heard someone say, &quot;hey I just found a cent on the ground&quot; or &quot;I found nickels, dimes, and cents in change.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So the minority of you who need to be technically accurate, I think you&#039;re just going to have to get used to hearing the sound of fingernails on chalk boards or whatever other irksome painful twinge that comes to your mind when you hear others say &quot;penny.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
