Answer seemed perfect. It would be great if someone could help me with :

Is Ten/Hundred/fifty ever used with Rupee's.

I mean is Rupee's even used ever not Rupees?

('), not to be used with non living things.

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.

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.

We have to say notes in Plural form only.

Megha said:   9 years ago
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.
