Pennies are one cent. Nickels 5 and dimes 10 and quarters 25 and half-dollar 50 and a Gold Susan B. Anthony or Pocahontas is 1 dollar coin.

Wiki helped... seems you call 1 cent coins pennies for some random reason. What's wrong with calling them cents? It's almost as daft as the old English system, though at least "quarters" and "half-dollars" make sense.
