Is there a name for 1/100 of a euro. It seems very awkward to say the current exchange rate is point seven four euros to the dollar. TIA, Jeffrey

I think they decided to use "cent". But perhaps "eurocent" might be better to avoid confusion with "dollarcent"! -- Pob hwyl (Best wishes) Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!

In France, we also use "centime" because 1/100 of a franc is a centime (100 in french = cent) and we keeped it for euro. Regards Regis

Just for completeness see: http://europa.eu.int/comm/economy_finance/euro/faqs/spelling_en.pdf where we learn that eg. in Greece it's called "to lepto, 100 lepta" and in Finland "sentti, 100 senttiä". Kolja
