[edit] Series 2004?

It is indicated on the front of the new ten dollar bill seen at http://www.moneyfactory.com/newmoney/main.cfm/currency/new10, that it is "Series 2004" when it in fact was released in 2006, wouldn't that make it series 2006? If anyone can give reasoning for this, please do.

All bills have the date of the actual design change on them. Such as the 10 was changed in 2004, all tens issued until the next change will have 2004 on it. If you look at a one dollar bill, i believe the dates on should be no newer than 2001 or 2003, but they have been printed after that. Joe I 20:37, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New $10 bill

New 10 Dollar bill unveiled. Check it out here http://www.moneyfactory.com/newmoney/main.cfm/currency/new10

The back of the $10 bill since 1928 has had the Treasury building. This should make sense because this goes with Alexander Hamilton on the front. However, how about the large sized $10 bill printed from 1914 to 1928?? It had a different portrait, someone who never was a Secretary of the Treasury.

[edit] Ronald Reagan on the $10 bill

There are several Internet sites that date to the spring of 2001 that talk about putting Ronald Reagan on the $10 bill. Does anyone know the current status?? 66.245.67.150 16:43, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

According to one Internet site, it says that a person has to be dead for at least 10 years for their denomination to be on paper currency, thus it would have to be at least 2014. 66.32.129.167 13:48, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

What a terrible idea, putting a picture of the man responsible for the biggest deficit in U.S. history onto the money. --Angr/탉 23:08, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Complete Revision of Article

I've thoroughly and completely revised this article. Hope this article helps paint a piece of history of the U.S. $10 bill. Please let me know if you have any comments about it.

Why does the March 2, 2006 issue have 2004 on it? Esquizombi 04:05, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

It's the series date, not the date it was made/first issued. --Kurt 08:30, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I wonder if Series (United States currency) should be linked from all the US__bill pages? Possibly each page should briefly go over all the features of the bill, or should the shared features be centralized on the dollar bill page? Esquizombi 09:09, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

What does the series date actually mean?

On U.S. currency, the series refers to the year appearing on the front of a bill, indicating when the bill's design was adopted. The printed series year does not indicate the year a bill was printed, instead it indicates the earliest year that bills of the same design were first made. For example, Series of 1882 gold certificates were being printed as late as 1927.

Most designs are used for multiple years, the seris stays the same, where the signitures are what changes. Joe I 14:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] upside down flag

I have a 1950 ten-dollar bill with an upside down flag on it. Maybe this should be added.

It's just circumstances. All portraits are based on real paintings of the time. --Kurt 05:58, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
