This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
APMEX says "The terms “penny” and “cent” are used interchangeably in the United States to refer to the coin representing one-hundredth of the value of the U.S. dollar." and "There is no difference between the penny and the cent in the United States. Either can be used when referring to the coin representing one-hundredth of the U.S. dollar." [1] CodeTalker (talk) 02:32, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear, I also oppose move. My comment was mainly directed toward recent changes by User:LookWhatJesFound which introduce confusing language attempting to use "penny" only as a name for the coin and "cent" only as the name of the monetary unit.
