| To clear things up about our US coins:
- In the US, a one-cent coin is officially designated as a "cent" or "one cent piece," but almost universally referred to as a "penny."
- The plural of this is "pennies;" a person with three cents would say they have three pennies.
- If talking about an equivalent number of one cent coins, one would use "pennies," as in "a nickel is worth five pennies." If simply referring to the value of the currency in general, one could also say "a nickel is worth five cents." The word "cent" is a more abstract reference to money, while "penny" is a specific reference to the actual coin. For example, if someone says they have fifty-seven cents, you would probably assume they have several coins of differing value (like a quarter, two dimes, two nickels, and two pennies), but if they said they have fifty-seven pennies, then you know they actually have fifty-seven individual one-cent coins, called pennies. |
