Ever wondered why we say cents and dollars? The word cent comes from the Latin centum, meaning one hundred, because there are 100 cents in a dollar. And the dollar? That name comes from thaler, a silver coin used in Europe and America up until the 1900s. Over time, it became dollar in English and made its way to the U.S. currency system.
