I use cents and pennies depending on the sentence I am constructing. When I refer to a collection I use cents. I use both bucks and dollars....quarters and "two bits"....a fiver....a fin......I use toe-may-toe and toe-ma-toe.....po-tay-toe and po-ta-toe.....craw-fish and crayfish.....C notes and hundreds. American English is my language of choice and I knew that even before I had to push "1" on the telephone.

I try to be even handed with my friends we we (Choose one: chat, talk, discuss things)about our day....I promise not to tell them what to think if they promise not to tell me what to say....

Just my opinion of course....

I call them 'cents' when writing or when speaking using a series name, like "Lincoln cents".

I call them 'pennies' when talking to a bank teller, my wife, or in -any general conversation.

People who insist on calling them 'cents' in all cases are a bit too anal and sound odd.
