Money is the root of all evil!

In the US, coins have nicknames.

Of course you can call them one cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents and everybody's going to know what you mean but... e se te perguntam Got a dime?

Pois é, então, para não ficar boiando na hora de pegar as moedas, e para não te lograrem, vamos dar nomes aos bois.

1 cent: penny

5 cents: nickel

10 cents: dime

25 cents: quarter

50 cent (as far as I know this one doesn't have a nickname)

There's currently no US$1.00 being used coin in the USA, but there used to be.

They're called silver dollars, and some people even collect them.
