"Invented" usually refers to creating a mechanical or electronic device rather than a static item such as a coin.
The 10-cent coin came about as part of a decimal-based currency system suggested by Thomas Jefferson. The original proposal was to have coin denominations in multiples of 10, with "half" values in between. The smallest denomination was to be called a mill, with these ratios:
10 mills = 1 cent
10 cents = 1 dime
10 dimes = 1 dollar
10 dollars = 1 eagle
10 eagles = 1 union
Then there would also be half cents, half dimes, half dollars, etc. As things worked out the mill was too low in value and the union was too high to be useful, but all the other denominations were issued at one time or another, so the dime was simply one of a much larger set of possible coins. Today of course prices are never expressed in dimes. The word "dime" is simply the name of the coin just like nickel or quarter.
Interesting trivia: the coin's original name was "disme", pronounced "DIZ-muh", and based on the French word for one-tenth. That didn't sound right to English-speaking ears and the S was soon dropped.

when the dollar was invented, because a quarter is actually a quarter of a dollar, where a dime is 1/10th of a dollar so why don't we call a dime a 10th and a nickel a 20th? So how many pennies in a dollar? none, because they are 100th.
