As we are a country of four languages, this depends a bit on the language.
German: Rappen
French: Centimes
Italian: Centesimi
Rhaeto-Romanic: Raps
In English there is no official name, but we usually speak of cents, as this is the translation of the French and Italian names, while the German and Romanic names are virtually untranslatable.
