The dime is a US ten-cent coin. While it is the third smallest denomination for a coin, it is physically the smallest, primarily because until 1965 it was a silver coin.

The Spanish word dime is a construction meaning "tell me" (from verb decir, to tell).

The urban slang meaning of "dime" is an attractive female, from the similar colloquial use of "she is a 10" (on a scale of 1 to 10).

A dime is a coin in the United States worth 10 cents. It features a portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on one side. "Dime" can also be used informally to mean a quantity of ten of something, such as "a dime a dozen" meaning common or cheap.
