Move to cent?
editThe US Mint defines the 1/100 dollar coin as a cent, not a penny. Cent (United States coin) redirects to this page but I think this should be reversed. Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk / contribs) 18:35, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Penny is probably the more common name. Qzekrom (she/her • talk) 14:19, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- APMEX says "The terms “penny” and “cent” are used interchangeably in the United States to refer to the coin representing one-hundredth of the value of the U.S. dollar." and "There is no difference between the penny and the cent in the United States. Either can be used when referring to the coin representing one-hundredth of the U.S. dollar." [1] CodeTalker (talk) 02:32, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Just to be clear, I also oppose move. My comment was mainly directed toward recent changes by User:LookWhatJesFound which introduce confusing language attempting to use "penny" only as a name for the coin and "cent" only as the name of the monetary unit.

- Oppose move - "Penny" is the WP:COMMONNAME for the coin by a large margin. - ZLEA T\C 03:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
