How old is it? Was it in use before America? I suspect it was a Latin
abbreviation, but was the "cent" used elsewhere before the US dollar
and cent came into being?
I have seen http://www.charlieanderson.com/centsign.htm but it doesn't say.
I'm interested in encouraging the use of this in Europe. I've a stamp
here that says "38c" and that just looks like "38 cee". Some have
suggested that "c" be used for the ¤ and "¢" belongs to the $, but I
don't believe it.
