Coins in American Currency
There are 100 cents in a dollar. Coins come in
the following denominations: $.01 or 1 cent (a penny,
a cent, one cent), $.05 or 5 cents (a nickel, five cents),
$.1 or 10 cents (a dime, ten cents), $.25 or 25 cents
(a quarter, two bits, twenty-five cents), and $.50 or
50 cents (a fifty-cent piece).
Coins are called "change", "small change", or
"silver" though they aren’t made of silver anymore.
Coins are generally recognized by their size, but
somebody "goofed" on the dime, which is smaller than
either a nickel or a penny. All the others are in size order.
One more word for you: don’t hold out your hand with
either bills or coins and expect someone to take the
correct change from you. That cannot be done in any Western
country.
