In Britain, the penny denomination has been used since the 9th century and possibly earlier.
The US technically has cents instead of pennies but the slang usage is almost universal. The first official 1¢ coins were minted in 1793, although other coins called cents or pennies were minted during the Revolution.
Canada also used cents; they were minted from 1858 to 2013.
