On my MacBook, I hold down the option key and press zero for degree and for the cents symbol - hold down the option key and press the dollar sign (number 4). º¢¢º

Another symbol is the cents '¢' symbol. Simply press down the 'Alt' button with one hand, punch in the numbers 155, release the 'Alt' button and like magic the cent '¢' symbol will appear.

I hope this helps someone, it is just a little knowledge and timesaver.

Just something else to try to remember. Punch 4 keys instead of 5, okay....
