Pengens

Pengens are a type of small, flat, round coins used in some countries for everyday transactions. The term "peng" is derived from the Chinese word for "coin," and "pengens" is a portmanteau of "peng" and "pence." They are typically made of copper or brass and have a diameter of about 19 millimeters. The value of a pengen varies by country, but it is usually equivalent to one-hundredth of the local currency unit.

Pengens are commonly used in China, Hong Kong, and Macau, where they are known as "fen" and "hao" respectively. In China, a fen is equal to one-hundredth of a yuan, while in Hong Kong and Macau, a hao is equal to one-hundredth of a dollar. Pengens are also used in some other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, where they are known as "sen" and "sen" respectively.

The use of pengens has declined in recent years due to the widespread use of electronic payment methods. However, they are still widely accepted in many retail stores and small businesses. In some countries, pengens are also used as a form of currency for vending machines and other small transactions.

Pengens are an important part of the history and culture of many countries, and they continue to play a role in everyday life. Despite their small size, pengens have a significant impact on the economy and the daily lives of people around the world.
