<p>[QUOTE=&quot;theshoegazer, post: 2167581, member: 69354&quot;]Penny is a widely accepted, even prevailing, colloquial term for a one cent piece. Yes, &quot;penny&quot; comes from England, and we don&#039;t exactly speak the Queen&#039;s English in the US, but aside from a few terms like &quot;shag&quot; and &quot;lorry&quot;, most British terms make sense here too. Sure, &quot;cent&quot; may be proper when discussing vintage and collectible one-cent pieces, but try asking someone on the street or in the grocery line if they can spare a &quot;cent&quot; - they&#039;ll look at you cock-eyed, and rightfully so.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;A cent saved is a cent earned&quot; - some nerd on a numismatic message board[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
