I have 10 dollar "sharp" with me?
How can we say if we have specific amount of money?
Let's say I have 9 dollars in my wallet. And I'm paying for some food.
Food vendor: All right. it's 9.50 dollars please.
Me: Oops! I only have 9 dollars sharp. Sorry about that.
Food vendor: No problem. You are the last customer today. I'll cost you 9 dollars sharp then.
Me: Thank you very much.
Is it correct to say "sharp" to mean exact, or specific, or a right amount of money.
Thank you.

No, you can't use' sharp' for money. In your sentences, you could say 'exactly'. We often use it for time.
