fifty cent

Two quarters combined value

Fifty cent describes something costing or worth half a dollar, often suggesting cheapness or low value.

A fifty-cent word is an unnecessarily fancy or pretentious term—the opposite of a ten-cent word.

Fifty-cent piece is the half-dollar coin.

The phrase sometimes implies something barely worth the price: That's my fifty-cent opinion.
