I recently came across a [song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziX1oQRiA3w)
about a person going to a convenience store.

At some point in the song, the character makes a 220 yen purchase and tries to
annoy the cashier by giving 10,000 yen, expecting change. She (the character)
says this:

> 一万円から！

Both the subtitles and every lyrics page I find translate this as "here's
10,000 yen". Being that から means "from" after a noun, I have no idea how they
got that translation, and I can't find any other definitions where this would
make sense.

question
particle-から
Meaning of <amount of money> + から
In this context, the shop person was requested to make change from 10000yen to
220yen.

'から' means starting point. In this case, starting point is 10000yen and ending
point is 220yen.

In this case the best translation for から is with.

It means "(paying) with 10.000yens bill". In Japan people often try to use
their coins especially at the convenient store so the cashier will wait to see
if you don't have any coins to round it up. That's why people say out loud
'i'll pay with this amount', so the cashier won't wait.

More proper way, also often used : 一万円からで (xx円からで)

Quite simply, that just means **"Out of a 10,000-yen bill, (please)!"**.

She is demanding her change as meanly as the clerks are treating her.
