Those who call it a penny are just normal people who don't collect coins. There are a lot of coin collectors who call them pennies just for the fact that it is easier to say , and because when we were all young children we called them pennies NOT cents . It's only when we got older and started collecting coins did the Numismatics Gods high on their Thrones demanded that we should now have to call them Cents. Report this Post to the Staff
