Which one is correct?

Question

He took a...
A) ten dollars note
B) ten dollars' note
C) ten dollar note
D) ten dollar's note

Answer 1

Actually it should be ten-dollar note. When two words together act as a single adjective, they should be hyphenated.

And maybe that's okay in Australian English (I don't know), but as others have said, in American (and Canadian), you'd say "ten-dollar bill".

Answer 2

C is the only correct one, however - dollars don't come in 'notes'! You get pound notes in Britain, and dollar BILLS in America!

So you should REALLY say "He took a ten dollar bill."

... or, as someone said, you could say "He took ten dollars." but this doesn't specify that it was a single ten dollar bill that he took. It could have been a combination of bills and change...!

Answer 3

only c is right. When a plural noun is used like an adjective the plural marker is usually dropped (dollar is a noun).

Other examples:

three inch screw
shoe store
cookie jar
three person tent

the possessive forms B and D are wrong because we don't usually talk about dollars possessing things

Answer 4

It's C. In American English, it would more likely be called a "ten dollar bill", though.

Answer 5

c. ten dollar note

He took a ten dollar note.

Answer 6

C, though no one would say that. "a ten dollar bill" or "ten dollars"

Answer 7

C--it isn't plural, it's a single bill, (or note)

Answer 8

A and D but A is better

Answer 9

I think its either A or C

Answer 10

c
