Etymology
| This section requires expansion. |
Etymologically Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time, the word cent derives from the Latin Latin or sometimes Roman is an Italic language originally spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. Although often considered a dead language, in view of the fact that it has no native speakers, a small number of scholars can fluently speak it and it continues to be taught in schools and universities and has been, and currently is, used in the process of word "centum" meaning hundred 100 (Roman numeral C, for centum) is the natural number following 99 and preceding 101.
Symbol
Where the cent is a subdivision of certain dollars (abbreviated $; notably the US and Canadian dollars), a cent is represented by the cent sign, a lower-case letter c pierced top to bottom by a forward slash or a vertical line: ¢. Cent amounts between 1 cent and 99 cents can be represented as one or two digits followed by the appropriate abbreviation (2¢, 99¢, 2c, 99c), or as a subdivision of the larger unit ($0.99). However, possibly because inflation has left very few things that cost less than the larger unit, the cent symbol generally is on the decline. For example, it has not survived the changeover from typewriters to computer keyboards (replaced by the ^ symbol), which still do provide the dollar symbol where it always has been.
Usage of the cent symbol varies from one currency to another. In the United States and Canada, the usage ¢ is more common, while in Australia, New Zealand and the Eurozone, the c is more common. In South Africa and Ireland, only the c is ever used.
When written, the cent sign (¢ or c) follows the amount, versus a larger currency symbol placed at the beginning of the amount. For example 2¢ and $0.02, or 2c and €0.02.
