DIME (from the Lat. decima, a tenth, through the O. Fr. disme)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 273 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DIME (from the Lat. decima, a tenth, through the O. Fr. disme) , the tenth
part
 , the tithe paid as
church
  dues, or as
tribute
  to a temporal power. In this sense it is obsolete, but is found in Wycliffe's
translation
  of the Bible" He gave him dymes of alle thingis " (Gen. xiv. 2o). A
dime
  is a silver coin of the United States, in value to cents (
English
  equivalent about 5d.) or one-tenth of a dollar; hence "
dime
 -novel," a cheap sensational novel, a "
penny
  dreadful "; also " dime-museum."
