Sorry, my math training just can't let that one go. Perhaps you meant either 50 cents or 0.50 dollars?

Fifty cents can be written as .50 as this link shows a quarter as .25. A nickel would be .05.

There are 100 cents in every dollar. Therefore, 100¢ = $1. We would never write 100¢; by the time you reach 100, you need to express the amount in dollar form, with a dollar sign ($). Also, cents can be written two different ways. First, they can be written as a number followed by a cents sign, like this: 25¢. However, cents can also be written with a dollar sign ($) and a decimal point (.), like this: $0.25 The cents would come after the decimal, and a zero would come before the decimal, to let other people know that you only have cents and no whole dollars.
