one dollar

Washington's smallest denomination

One dollar is the basic unit of U.S. currency, equal to one hundred cents.

The phrase often appears in fixed expressions: one-dollar bill, one-dollar menu.

In casual speech, one dollar emphasizes exactness or a bargain price: I got this for one dollar.

The singular form sounds slightly formal compared to a dollar or a buck.
