I didn't vote since I don't do this, but from the bank teller side of it, pennies is far and away the most commonly used word. No one's ever asked me for Cents or Lincolns before.

The only people who don't call them pennies, is us.

I say the word that appears on every paper wrapper I have ever seen for the denomination:  If someone has a picture of a wrapper that says "cents" I would love to see it. Edited by aristarchus123

What I don't do is ask for common cents.

I ask for pennies even though I prefer refering to them as cents. Sometimes they look at me like I have a third eye when I ask for rolls of cents.

"Pennies," since that's what is printed on the rolls and the boxes containing them. Until the banks start rolling them in containers/boxes with "cents" on them, I'll keep using their word for them.

Back when I CRH I would ask for cents. If I got "a look" for the teller, I would then say pennies.  If I started to CRH again I would do the same.  |

I was disappointed that one of the Poll Choices was not "Stick 'em up!"  |

I use the 5 magic words:
"I want rare cents please"
Then tellers stop working and search through all the pennies to give me the valuable ones.
