ten dollars

Two fivers combined

Ten dollars is an amount of U.S. currency, used as a reference point for small purchases or casual transactions.

The phrase often appears in contexts involving bets, tips, or minor expenses: I bet you ten dollars he doesn't show up.

Ten-dollar works as a modifier: a ten-dollar bill, ten-dollar words (pretentiously fancy vocabulary).
