Apparently centimate is also a formerly proposed name for the Australian currency (never adopted).

"Imagine that, instead of the name ‘dollar’, the currency in Australia was called the ‘inflato’. That was one of the names suggested to Prime Minister Holt for the new decimal currency introduced in 1966. The ‘royal’ was the most favoured name, but others suggested were ‘austral’, ‘A.B.C.D.’, ‘aborroo’, ‘anzac’, ‘centimate’, ‘deci-cur’, ‘dollauster’, ‘kanoala’, ‘howzat’, ‘macquarie’, ‘oz’ and ‘sheepsback’."

But I suppose this doesn't merit a mention in the entry.
