$10

$10

The $10 bill is a Federal Reserve Note valued at 1,000 cents (equivalent to 200 nickels, 100 dimes, 40 quarters, ten $1 bills, or two $5 bills). The first ones date all the way back to 1933. Also from 1934 to 1962, there were Silver Certificates for this denomination, but as of Series 1963, it remained only a Federal Reserve Note ever since.

$10 bills with serial numbers printed by COPE began in 1976, and by late 1978 or early 1979, virtually all $10 bills in circulation now had COPE serials.

A $10 bill is the U.S. equivalent of the Japanese 1,000 yen note.

On the front is a portrait of Alexander Hamilton (the first Secretary of the United States Treasury) and on the back is the Treasury Department Building.

Signatures:  Katherine Davalos Ortega and James A. Baker III On the list of annual production reports from the BEP website, under FY 1986, it is claimed that 678,000,000 $10 bills were printed. This is incorrect. There were actually 768,000,000 notes printed within that fiscal year. Quantity of notes in production decreased in 1987. Unlike the $1 and $5 bills, the $10 bill continued as a Series 1985 in late 1988. In addition, these bills were the first to have the standard print run of 200,000 sheets since October 1989. As of December 31, 1990, approximately 900 million $10 bills still in circulation were Series 1985 notes.

In addition, 640,800,000 is not a multiple of 6,400,000. As of December 31, 1994, more than 1.2 billion $10 bills in circulation were Series 1990 notes.

Foreign counterparts

As of 1994, the current lowest denomination of Japanese paper money is the 1,000 yen note. From November 1984 to October 2004, all 1,000 yen notes contained a portrait of Natsume Sōseki on the front and a pair of crane birds on the back. As of 2007, they now have a portrait of Noguchi Hideyo on the front, and Mt. Fuji, Lake Motosu and cherry blossoms on the back.

When the South Korean 5,000 won note was introduced in 1972, it had a buying power of $10. This value had decreased to $7 when the 5,000 won note was resdeigned in 1977, and by October 8, 1983, when all currency was redesigned again, the 10,000 won note officially became the new South Korean $10 bill.

Until 2009, the largest denomination of South Korean currency remained the 10,000 note. The 1983 design of the banknote added new security features on January 20, 1994, and a copyright notice on June 19, 2000. A complete redesign occurred on January 22, 2007.

$10 equals 13 Canadian dollars, 187 Mexican pesos, 50 Brazilian real, 12,500 South Korean won, or 1,250 Japanese yen.
