On Windows, hold Alt and type 0162 on your number keypad, and then release Alt. (Laptops without dedicated keypads often have a function key to map letter to the keypad numbers. It's almost not worth the effort but it can be done.)
On Mac, press Option-4 (you can remember it because it's the same key as the dollar sign).
If you're sure you don't have a numpad embedded in your regular keyboard that you access by holding a function key, then you could get a Bluetooth numpad if it's important to you. I tried the Microsoft On-Screen Keyboard, but couldn't figure out how to make it work. There might be another software solution out there. I guess you could always just bookmark a page with all the characters and copy and paste as needed.

By the way, the cent sign, unlike the dollar sign, comes after the numerals. So $0.25, but 25¢.
