Latin was a remarkable language, but the Roman numeral system was clumsy and inefficient.

No info really at that link.

"Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. Please search for Hinduâ€"Arabic numeral system in Wikipedia to check for alternative titles or spellings. ..."

If anyone wants to compare Asian Indian numerals to Arabic try the "Creounity Time Machine" at this link.

Link fixed in my original and your quote. The forum does not play nice with some Wiki links.

And just so you do not have to scroll back:

This has been an interesting thread, but to bring it back to the OP's question, what other US coins have used a cents symbol (comprising a letter c plus a nominally vertical, solid or interrupted line)? At least so far, all of the other coins mentioned or pictured just have the letter "c".

I don't believe there are any, hence my backlash toward the design of this newest quarter.

This is what we are looking for on US coins (well, probably just one per coin).
