WHAT DOES CENTIME MEAN IN ENGLISH?

centime

Centime

Centime is French for "cent", and is used in English as the name of the fraction currency in several Francophone countries. In France the usage of centime goes back to the introduction of the decimal monetary system under Napoleon. This system aimed at replacing non-decimal fractions of older coins. A five-centime coin was known as a sou, i.e. a solidus or shilling. Conversely in francophone Canada, one hundredth of a Canadian dollar is informally called a sou, though cent is official in both English and French.
