The Knut (pronounced K'noot) or Bronze-Knut is the least valued coin in wizarding currency. There are 29 Knuts in one silver Sickle, and there are 493 Knuts in one golden Galleon. A Knut is also approximately equal to one British Penny.
Fred and George Weasley gave their brother Ron a one knut discount on their merchandise at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, although this discount was applied to the entire purchase and not per-item.
The wizarding newspaper called the Daily Prophet costs one Knut when delivered by owl.
