There are currently 6 circulating denominations of US Coins, although the 2 largest ones are not used very frequently. Most have nicknames.
- 1 cent; nickname "penny" from the old British usage
- 5 cents; nickname "nickel" because it was the first US coin to have a high nickel content(*)
- 10 cents; officially called a "dime", a name left over from the post-colonial era.
- 25 cents; nickname "a quarter"
- 50 cents; nickname "a half"
- $1; nickname "a buck"
Be careful about the name nickel. Many people erroneously think the coin is spelled "nickle" but that's actually the name of a small songbird! (I am not making this up - you can check a good dictionary)
