<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 665849, member: 17261&quot;]Classic debate!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMO, the numismatically correct term is cent, i.e. Lincoln cent, Indian cent, etc. Penny is a non-specific term and implies all one cent demonination coins. Also, IMHO, using the term &quot;Lincoln Penny&quot; sounds like something a 3rd grader would say. If you want to sound like a numismatist, you would say &quot;Lincoln cent&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Having said that, I find the term penny perfectly acceptable. Try walking into a bank and asking for a &quot;box of cents&quot;, you get a blank stare.....I know, I&#039;ve done it. LOL They come back with...&quot;oh, you mean a box of pennies&quot;.
