the nickel. actually, it is the only circulating coin with the word "cents" on it. the cent has the word "cent" on it.

[reid1836]

1836 bust half dollar

[Peace_Fan]

I'm probably missing something, but the nickel as far as what's in current production is the one...

[bit1work]

Gold $4 of 1879-1880

1836 Capped Bust Half Dollar??

[rtpjr]

I'm thinking the early Silver Dollar Coins 1794 Flowing Hair and 1795 Drape Bust. had the edges inscribed 100 cents. So the $1.00 Silver Dollar would be the highest denomination circulating coin.

[Allan Ong]

Lincoln Cent?

[zrlevin]

Currently Circulating? Nickel

 

Ever circulated? Twenty cent piece.

[kenwin1]

5 cents

[MunkyMan95]

Half dollar?

[jtryka]

I will guess the silver dollar of 1794-1804.

[CarolinaCollector]

Capped Bust Half Dollar.

[bsshog40]

[dan8402]

The nickel has the word "cents" on it.

Stella $4 which contains the words "400 Cents" on the reverse. While technically a pattern, it should qualify since there are many circulated examples, so the mint likely released them for circulation, even if not an adopted design.

quarter

[copperman]

the liberty seated 20 "cents" piece

[Elbesaar]

The $4.00 Stella was not a circulating coin.

 

The One Dollar coin from 1794 to 1803 had edge lettering that said Hundred Cents. As far as I know that was the highest denomination.

[prooflike]

stella 400 cents

[IlikeZARcoins]

I am from the Darkside but am willing to have a guess:

 

Is it 20 Cents ?

[ddr70-migration]

Stella $4 Gold circulated in the 1880s and includes 400 Cents on the Reverse. OK, not so common a coin, but it's the highest I've found.

[Amanda]

Capped Bust Half, lettered edge. The edge reads "Fifty Cents or Half a Dollar."

[hoard]

capped bust 50 cents 1836 and 1837
