Pennies Pennies Pennies

Can't we all just agree or agree to disagree that in modern vernacular penny and cent are synonymous?

The US Mint has no problem using the term penny....

U.S. Mint Online Product Catalog

Neither does the US Congress

Presidential $1 coin act of 2005 - "SEC. 304. NUMISMATIC PENNIES WITH THE SAME METALLIC CONTENT
AS THE 1909 PENNY."

Cent may be the proper term, but since colonial times it has been called the penny. The terms are interchangeable. Can we leave it at that?

Next someone on here is going to admonish the use of "dollar bill" and say no, it's "federal reserve note, it say's it right on it!"

Anyways, thats my two pennies.......
