Dollar
From Conservapedia
A Dollar is a basic unit of currency in several countries. This currency was originally based on precious metals, but is no longer so. For this reason it is now known as a fiat currency.
Cents
For precise payments, dollars are broken down into cents. One dollar is equivalent to 100 cents, so one cent is 1% of a dollar. For further simplification, coins valuing multiple cents are also available, so that paying with literal handfuls of pennies is not necessary.
| Denomination | Dollar | Half-Dollar | Quarter | Dime | Nickel | Penny |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cent Value | 100 | 50 | 25 | 10 | 5 | 1 |
