Smallest denomination US coin (4)

I believe the answer is:

cent

(Other definitions for cent that I've seen before include "One hundreth of a dollar" , "Small amount of money" , "Small change" , "One-hundredth of the basic monetary unit" , "1/100 of various currencies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
