The only context I can think of the word "cents" being used nowadays is when you're reading a price off something...even then, the "cents" is dropped pretty frequently. Like, $5.99 would be spoken as, "Five ninety-nine," and the "cents" is implied. Same goes for "dollars" and any synonyms, but not as frequently. Culture is so much fun to explore :D
