Using notes:

A denomination is a way of classifying things — it names the type or value of something. Denomination often refers to money. For example, bills are of the same denomination.

When denomination is applied to money, you’ll often hear the terms “lower denomination” or “higher denomination.” If you hand the cashier a bill to pay for your latte, she might ask if you have a bill in a lower denomination — she’s asking for a smaller bill, like a or a . Denomination can apply to other things that are categorized by type, such as playing cards or groups within the same religious tradition.
