Was looking over my 5 year old's homework, they are learning to count money, you know Quarter, Nickel, Dime & PENNY........
I told my daughter we don't have pennies here in the United States of America, we have Cents.
We have only been making Cents for a little over 200 years, it makes "No Cents" to me why the school systems still teach our children to count pennies.

Enough time has gone on with people calling these pennies that it is de facto in use.
I have an Indian Head PENNY, a Lincoln PENNY, etc etc etc
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I don't think I can think of anything LESS important!

Sounds funny! I do agree with the OP though. I've been trying to correct my five year old for the better part of the last six months now. DAD, LOOK PENNIES!@#!@# Son, those are CENTS!

Nah, that sounds too much like I'm selling perfumes instead of pretty little copper discs!
FYI, From Wikipedia,
The United States one-cent coin, commonly known as a penny, is a unit of currency equaling one one-hundredth of a United States dollar. Its symbol is ¢. Its obverse has featured the profile of President Abraham Lincoln since 1909, the centennial of his birth. From 1959 (the sesquicentennial of Lincoln's birth) to 2008, the reverse featured the Lincoln Memorial. Four different reverse designs in 2009 honored Lincoln's 200th birthday, while a new, permanent reverse was introduced in 2010. The coin is 0.75 inches (19.05 mm) in diameter and 0.061 inches (1.55 mm) in thickness.
The one-cent coin is often called a penny, but the U.S. Mint's official name for this coin is "cent" and the U.S. Treasury's official name is "one cent piece".
