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.
I think they decided to use "cent". But perhaps "eurocent" might be better to avoid confusion with "dollarcent"!
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.

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".

And to complicate thing a bit: Swedish "Krona" and "Öre" (or in plural; "Kronor" and "ören") -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------
