Hold down the alt key and type 155 and you will get the ¢ sign.

Wow, I guess I used a 10-key too long. I didn't know it had ever been on the keyboard. (New to typing)

I always use the 'other symbols' function in the word processing program and am not really sure that we ever had the symbol on our keyboards - although I can stand corrected on that.
