A United States cent, or 1¢ or a penny. A euro cent, showing the common reverse side. The obverse side is country-specific.
Images are the exact size of coin.

In many currencies, the cent is a monetary unit that is the same as 1/100 of the normal unit. In the United States, it is also called a penny. The penny has the image of Abraham Lincoln on it.

Several countries no longer produce coins of such small value.
