The "Cents" here of course mean "Sense" so you could say this is "Good Sense" or "Money Sense." This is the only one of this style of pin I made because even in the 80's it was hard to find solid copper pennies, which these have to be to stand up to the soldering onto the silver head. There are a lot of angles in the photos since it's a very 3D piece. I hope it all makes as much sense to you as it did to me. All my work had a surrealistic bent especially this one.
