1$ = 1c.

1$ = 100c = (10c)^2= (0.1$)^2= 0.01$ = 1c

actually when you take a unit (cents) to an exponent, the unit gets exponented too. Therefore you actually get 1 square cent. They look pretty cool.

Yeah Gak2 is right. The reason this doesn't work is because multiplying 10 cents by 10 cents gets you 100 square cents. (WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY CENTS BAHAHAHA ;B)

in other news
1m = 100cm
100cm = (10cm)^2 = (0.1m)^2 = 0.01m = 1cm

1m = 1cm! Metric is wrong! I knew USA was doing something right.

MY BRAIN!!!! ITS MELTING!!!!

On-Topic though, that is a pretty damn funny equation, although as noted, it'd be $1 = 1 square cent =P

Haha, I spotted the flaw!

100c = (10c)^2 is algebraically incorrect, since (10c)^2 is actually 100 c^2. It only works in the example because c = 1.

You are assuming what you are trying to proof to be true, which isn't.

This is where the mistake pops in. Its actually 100c = (10^2)c. If you have (10c)^2 = 100 c^2. The people saying that $1 = 1c squared are wrong as well

There's also a problem with exchanging 10c with $0.1. We're trying to prove that $1=100c so we'd better not use it as a step in our proof.

The c^2 looks more like an aesthetic flaw in the whole "proof".
