'penny' sounds rather British to me. What would be a geographically neutral substitute for it?

Geographically neutral? Not sure about that. In the States, we do have pennies, so that coin doesn't sound particularly British to me. We have dollars, but that's fairly geographic-specific as well. I suppose you could go with bit, but that does

It shouldn't. Americans have pennies too.
