In the United States 100 cents make a dollar. Cents are sometimes nicknamed pennies.

A penny is the nickname of a coin, a small copper and zinc one. one cent is the value of a penny, just like a one dollar bill is worth 100 cents, a penny is worth 1 cent.

Other coins and their names:

a nickel is worth 5 cents,

a dime is worth 10 cents

a quarter is worth 25 cents

a half dollar is worth 50 cents

a dollar coin is worth 100 cents.

So Yeah, America has pennies, but that is the name of a physical metal coin, the abstract currency is referred to as "Cents" or "Dollars"
