I believe the preferred naming for 0.01 BTC is a Satoshi [1]. They were named such to honour the author of the original paper.

0.01 BTC is in fact a bitcent, and a Satoshi is much smaller (0.00000001 BTC)

A Satoshi is defined as 10 ^ -8 BTC. Actually, it's more accurate to say that a Bitcoin is defined as 10^8 Satoshis, as the Satoshi is the actual atomic unit of exchange.

The sidebar on the right mentions that a Satoshi is actually 0.00000001 BTC
