I've seen "cn" a handful of times here in Finland, but never "ct". John Vertical --- End forwarded message --- Silly me! When Carsten used the expression "my 2 cts. worth" I assumed he was talking about American currency. It is an expression used frequently in the U.S. and I wasn't aware that the "cent" was Finnish currency. I only know markka and penni. Therefore, I chose to explain the abbreviations as we use them here in the U.S. That is a lesson well-learned by me. The next time someone refers to what I assume to be an American topic, I'll check to see what is done in Finland before I expound on it. For those who are interested, the source of my (mis)information is the American Heritage Dictionary. "cn." is not given as an abbreviation for anything in English.
