Wikipedia also has an article about Decimal.

The decimal (base ten) number system is the most widely used number system. It uses the number ten as its base. Decimal numbers use the digits 0 through 9.

The term decimal or DEC can refer to the base ten form of an identifier, as opposed to the base sixteen (hexadecimal or HEX) form.

In Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow, money is stored in a unique way, so that the hexadecimal value of a money byte matches the decimal value (e.g. '99' is actually 99).
