What in the world does THAT mean? I'm gonna take a SWAG (silly wild-ass guess) at that. One dollar equals 100 cents, so you could say that a penny is a centidollar, because a penny represents one hundredth of a dollar. A dollar is also one tenth of a ten-dollar bill, so you could say that it is a decisawbuck. (Sawbuck is slang for a 10-dollar bill.)
The prefix is "centi-". It means "one hundredth" = 1/100 = 0.01 "Centimeter" = One hundredth of a meter = 0.01 meter . The same prefix can also be used with non-metric quantities. For example . . . -- when fishing for minnows, they will hit on a 'centiworm' = 0.01 worm -- a small reddish coin called a "penny" has the value of 1 centidollar, or 1 cent
