They have two asterick (*) symbols, two dash or minus (-) symbols, two plus (+) symbols, two back slash (/) symbols, and two period or decimal (.) symbols but not one cent symbol. Anyone know why?

well they do. if you're on an ibm computer, hold down ALT and then type numbers, like "ALT 666" makes the symbol Ü, and you can keep typing in different numbers and i think eventually you will get the cents symbol. besides, people don't usually write out the cents symbol. if you're going to write "55 cents", you usually write it as "$.55".

I think maybe it's because the dollar symbol may be more universal than the cent symbol....This is my guess though...I may not be right.
Good luck in your search

when was the last time you needed a cent symbol? c works fine (in a way that S doesn't)

I guess they expect you to use $.90 for cents?

I would imagine because it's not needed. If you type $3.49, why do you need a cents sign?

I think it's because you can write the same thing as $ 0.50
