1 dollar = 100 cents = 10 cents * 10 cents = 1/10 dollar * 1/10 dollar = 1/100 dollar = 1 cent

Here is the proof that 1 dollar = 1 cent. Is there an error in my calculations?

you split the labels inapropriately.
100 cents = 10 cents * 10 cents is false.
really 10 cents * 10 cents= 100 cents^2 which doesn't make sense. :) However, 10 cents * 10 cents = 1/10 dollars * 1/10 dollars is true because they both equal 100 cents^2 = 1/100 dollars^2 ( because of the squares you would have to multiply the 100 twice.)
