one cent
Lincoln coin's worth
One cent is the smallest unit of U.S. currency, equal to one hundredth of a dollar.
The coin is commonly called a penny.
The phrase often appears in expressions emphasizing minimal value or cost: I didn't pay one cent for it, not worth one cent.
In pricing, one cent functions as a psychological threshold—$9.99 feels cheaper than $10.00.
