Singular and Plural Currency Grammar
Because the whole amount is not one, the plural form dollars is used. The cent unit is evaluated independently, which is why .01 uses one cent but .00, .10, and .50 use cents.
The currency label is not part of the English number name itself. First, the converter builds “fifty”; then it adds dollars and the zero-cent phrase. This separation keeps number spelling and currency agreement consistent.
