Oh, and it is pence, not pennies.


Well, Mr. Knowitall, shouldn't it be pence in terms of value and pennies in terms of quantity? And as we're talking about what to do with a 'bunch of pennies', I'd say it was the correct term.

Touche.

In order to fan the flames, I will add that it does not say "nickel" on the five cent coin.

With my apologies, champco.

In effort to redeem myself, I will agree that you should definitely save the best examples.

US cents are not called pennies.


Walk into a bank and loudly ask for a roll of "cents", I dare you. LOL

They will give you a roll of cents that says 'pennies' on it. No big deal.

yes it is a cent, but almost everyone has called them pennies just about from the begining, no big thing.
But if you ask the cost it is said as 26 cents not 26 pennies.

In the UK it is one penny two pence, however, if you have two 1 penny coins you have two pennies that equal 2 pence.

So, if you have a French 100 Franc gold coin with a nude with wings writing at a lecturn what is it commonly called? Oh yea, an angel, right?

Except there is no angel on the coin. The figure represents a genius writing the constitution. So it should be nicknamed a French Genius, but it is called an angel...

darn you, you darn equine, get up!
