Tlie Cent I* Not Small.
With the exception of the English |
penny, the cent is the largest minimum j

Roughly speaking, our cent is worth 2
kopecks, 2 cents Mexican, Chinese and
East Indian, 2 atts or miliienies. It Is
two and a half times larger than the
cent of the Netherlands or the kreutzer.
There are 4 pies, ore. or pfennige to the
