What does SENTI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small monetary unit formerly or currently used in several countries, notably as one hundredth of a shilling in Kenya and Tanzania.
Senti functioned in East African currencies much as the cent does in dollar-based systems, dividing the shilling into one hundred smaller units for everyday transactions. Kenya and Tanzania both used senti as their subunit for decades, though inflation eventually made coins worth only a few senti practically worthless and rare in circulation. Estonia separately used a currency called the sent, whose plural senti gave the same spelling a completely different, unrelated origin in the Baltic region. Because of this overlap, the word senti can refer to two historically distinct monetary systems depending on context.
