The proper term for a once cent coin is "one cent piece," but in common usage this coin is often referred to as a penny or cent. Many times, even the Treasury Department and the United States Mint use the term penny because that is what is normally referred to in general use by the public.

About Us

She was so impressed with their leadership that she made them the school’s first student counsel.
