"Not a red cent" có từ cent là đồng xu -> cụm từ này nghĩa là không có nổi một xu, không một xu dính túi.

Ví dụ
Not one red cent. It was Dad's favourite saying when I was a child. It means not even a tiny or the smallest amount of money.

We were back together, but still not a red cent to be found. After a year, we got a state house and moved (chuyển tới) to Glenfield. That's when things started to get better.

Not a red cent should go to factory-owned feedlots (nơi vỗ béo súc vật để bán) or processors. Farmers are on their knees, and this fund must be fairly allocated, finalised and delivered to farmers as soon as possible.
