Centime

The centime is the name of the fraction currency in several Francophone countries (including Switzerland and formerly France), where it is 1/100 of a franc.

In France a 5 centime coin was known as a sou.

In France centime is frequently still used to refer to 1/100th of a euro, properly called a cent.
