Yes, when signing the amount 5 cents in American Sign Language (ASL), you first sign the number 5 and then follow it with the sign for "cents". The sign for the number 5 is typically done by extending all fingers of one hand and closing them into a fist, leaving the thumb extended. The sign for "cents" is done by starting with both hands in a "flat handshape" and tapping the pinky fingertips of one hand onto the back of the other hand twice.
When you sign 5 cents, you make the sign for 5 then follow it with the sign for CENTS. True or false
False. In American Sign Language (ASL), there is a specific sign for "5 cents" that combines the sign for 5 with a specific movement to represent cents. The sign is made by holding the hand in a "5" handshape (closed fist with the thumb extended) and bouncing it in a specific motion. So, you don't sign "cents" separately after signing 5.
