I had to google it.. and found this interesting article! Looks like it has been gone since the 60's!!

I don't recall it ever being on a computer keyboard. I know it was on typewriters back in the day...

I wonder how long it's been 'missing'?

bart,homer & marge ----i used to do that stuff years ago! LOL

I knew I didn't have any "cents/sense" left!!

i tried that 59 & it didn't work!!!

I have been typing since the 1970's. Never knew there was a "cent" key before. Have not really needed it.

I can't remember where it used to be. On the 2, perhaps, where the @ is now?

59¢ yup that worked but much easier to just type cents.

type the 59 or any other amount of cents you want, then press the alt key, holding it down and type the 0162 on your numeric keypad. then you have to let go of the alt key. the cent symbol then appears.

You have to go to "symbols" and insert it, if you use it a lot, make a quick key for it...but $.0 works too.
