I have a general question on usage of currency symbol "$" along with cents

I have a general question on usage of currency symbol "$" along with cents. Is the below sentence correct? (in written english). Should we need to delete either dollar symbol or cents in the sentence.

ABC Company declared a dividend $0.10 cents per share.

Pls suggest.

Don't use the word "cents" (or "dollars" either, for that matter) if you use the $ symbol. 10 = ten cents.

Does the $ go before or after the amount? £1 is usual in Britain, but on the continent it is mixed between [Euro]4 and 4[Euro]. What about $?

It goes before, just as I have written it.
