East Timor centavo coins were introduced for use in East Timor in 2003, for use alongside US Dollar banknotes and coins. (East Timor does not yet issue its own banknotes.) They are in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 centavos and feature pictures of local plants and animals.

The centavo are one hundred divisions of a currency - known in English as cents. The centavo was once used in Portugal, and it was a division of the Escudo (a currency replaced by the Euro). The Brazilian Real and the Philippine Peso are also divided into centavos.
