Yes, you have to square the unit. Conversion of squared units is different: if 100 cents is a dollar, then $100^2$ cents squared is a dollar squred.

You can clearly see the fallacy if you keep track of the units:
In the second equality, $$0.01 = $0.1times $0.1$ is not true, if you are doing units.
Even if the second equality were true, the third one gives problems: since $c=$/100$, you have
$$
($0.1)^2=left(frac c{100},0.1right)^2=frac{c^2}{100}timesfrac1{10}=frac{c^2}{1000}.
$$
This is not $(10c)^2=100c^2$.
In conclusion, two equalities are bogus, and so is the argument.
