$100 is not enough.    

There is $100 in the pocket.

Here $100 is considered as an amount.

How about 100 dollars?  There are or there is?  are not enough or is enough?

$100 is not enough. 

There is $100 (in the pocket).

Here '$100' refers to the amount.

Similarly,

He is 5 years old.

He is five years old.

So do you mean $100 and 100 dollars are all singulars?

It doesn't matter whether the amount is spelled out or written in figures.

Similarly, "He is five years old" is the same as "He is 5 years old."
