    Stupid question. Do Americans say "Pence". They have dollars and pennies right. So how would an American say a $1.34? In the UK we would say 1 dollar and 34 pence or P for short.

    • I think they use 'pennies' for cents (don't know why) but I've never heard them use 'pence' or 'pennies' in TV or film.
