Who cares?

Ehrrmmm I'm going to take a guess here...

I think it's an international symbol. Cents have a sign too, tho' it's not easy to find in the keyboard, you'd have to go to the map symbol.

 

[tzedek]

sorry, pretend that the c is the cent symbol. i dont know how to make it.

My guess would be convention, but you could always ask the good Dr.

 

[Smoke]

yeah, thats a good idea.

 

[TheLampIncident]

50 cents is worth more than one cent.
A dollar is worth more than 50 cents.
An explanation? No.
However, it was worth a try.

$50c
