I have been typing since the late 60's and I do not recall ever having used it either. I just checked my insert symbol and it is available, but cannot understand why I would have use of it. I seem to remember my training was that the correct method of typing money amounts was: $.01.

¢ = Alt 155 / while holding down the alt key with your left hand type 155 with your right. The cent sign will appear
There are many more signs by following these directions or go to google and type in keyboard character codes.

For Microsoft Windows XP, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Character Map.
