What is 1/100 of a Euro called?

[notfred]

Is there a euro version of cents, or is it just "0.01 euros"?

It's a cent.

"The euro is divided into 100 cents, commonly and officially referred to as "cent", even in plural (see following section)."

US money is so bland and boring. Our attempts at being "colorful" have fallen flat on it's face. not that I still wouldn't mind having lots of it in my wallet.

Nah. I wondered that at first too, but m-w.com...

Etymology: Middle French, hundred, from Latin centum -- more at HUNDRED

Note that the new currency is called the "euro", with a lower case "e".
It's probably acceptable to call it the "euro currency", for clarity.
The name "euro dollar" is completely incorrect. The euro's sub-units are
called "cents".

I just received EUR 14.20 from a Portuguese buyer, that's how I learned what their sub-unit is.

Plus I work in international banking and deal with FX currencies as part of my job.
