fifties
This term is used primarily as a plural noun to denote a specific span of ten years or a decade of a person's life. When referring to the calendar decade, it is common to omit the word decade and simply say the fifties, though in formal writing, the full century is often specified to avoid ambiguity between the 1850s and 1950s.
In the context of currency, the word functions as a count noun referring to individual denominations. Because the headword is already plural, it typically refers to a group of banknotes rather than a single bill, which would be a fifty.
