Which one is correct???????

Answer

I got bored reading that discussion, some say this, others that. I say 25 cents, or 1 cent, or half a cent for 0.5 cents. Singular is 1 and I guess to get half or quarter of a cent it must be broken into pieces, so it is plural. Hope this is helpful.

Answer

Which one is correct?
0.23 cents 
0.23 cent
twenty three hundredths of a cent (singular)

If you put a $ in front:
$0.23 
This is pronounced twenty three cents (plural)

Answer

That's probably a bad example, as most people would mentally say 'That's half of a cent'!
A quick and easy guide: if (knowledgeable) people are arguing about it, then both sides are probably true. 
I would personally use singular, but I would not consider plural to be wrong.
