They're not. It's like a penny. Sure you may have parts of cents like with gas, but for girls buying books, it's the lowest currency value.

Long ago, many currencies had more divisions than they do now.

The penny of GBP came in quarter pennies (farthings) until 1950.

Half US-cent coins were made until 1857.
