"a" twelve dollars.
hi,
I found a sentence like this:
My daily budget was a quickly spent twelve dollars.
This is because, I guess, the writer is thinking "this twelve dollars" is a package.Would you give me some similar examples?
Thank you,
m

Yes, and the speaker has reclassified the amount with a modifier ('quickly spent'), distinguishing it from 'a carefully saved $12', 'an easily lost $12', etc.
