With compound noun (numerical+noun), if noun does the work of an adjective then singular noun is used.
e.g.
1. A five rupee note.
2. Ten-mile race.
3. Ten day tour.
e.g.
1. A five rupee note.
2. Ten-mile race.
3. Ten day tour.

Certain nouns like,
Rupee, Foot, Pair, Score, Dozen, Year, Million etc Remain Unchanged in number though a NUMERICAL Precedes them.
Eg: a Rupee, a Ten Rupee, a kilometer, a five-kilometer.

Eg.
1rupee.
10 rupee.
24cm.
1mile.
So, rupee is like a unit just as "cm", "mile"....etc.
And unit can never be plural. It's always singular.
The names of units, whether derived from a proper name, are unchanged in the plural.
1rupee.
