Talk:United States ten-dollar bill

message: 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.

replies: text: 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)

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.

replies: text: 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)

thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: This article is pretty lacking on details about the new 10s.  The article on the 5 dollar bill talks about all the anti counterfeiting measures and new design features.  I'm pretty surprised this got "B" article status with hardly any information on the current bill.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.7.17.3 (talk) 13:14, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The introductory paragraph currently states: "In addition to this, Hamilton is one of only two persons featured on U.S. currency who was not born in the continental United States, as he was from the West Indies. The other, Kamehameha I, appears on the 2008 Hawaii state quarter.)"
I believe John Muir is depicted on the California commemorative quarter, and he was born in Scotland.  98.150.128.79 (talk) 09:14, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

message: "Hamilton is one of two non-presidents featured on currently issued U.S. bills."  Don't doubt this for an instant.  What about other non-presidents on bills no longer current?

thread_title:  Is this a reliable source?? If not, please explain 

message: The sizes of present US currency were stated in an info box in metric terms to six digits of precision. I doubted that the printing bureau  ever stated such a precision, or that they regulated the cutters to slice the printed sheets into notes down to +/- .00005 mm for the height and .0005 mm for the width. I found the US government site https://uscurrency.gov/history-american-currency which states the dimensions as 6.14 inches by 2.61 inches, an achievable 3 digits of precision. I suggest that the dimensions of US currency in the infobox should be given in US units rather than metric units. This is not a science article, so metric units being standard for science is not convincing.  I have no serious problem with leaving currency measurements metric, but I strongly object to implying the measurements are specified to 6 digits of precision, which is an artifact of mindlessly using a unit conversion program.

replies: text: Whoever wrote the banknote infobox template didn't make any provision for US units. You are right that this contradicts the MOS on the question of which units to use. Kendall-K1 (talk) 15:07, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Size

message: Regarding the most recent pictures of the $10 currency: little was said about the security stripe other than that it was there and that it was revealed by UV light. Is the writing always visible from the front face of the bill--or always visible from the rear face? Is this an important counterfeit issue? Perhaps showing what it looks like might be helpful for those without access to a UV light; just a thought (I have one, so it isn't an issue for me).
[I'd upload one myself but I'm having some hardware problems at the moment so I can only make the suggestion--but I'm very curious about about the front versus rear facing writing issue on the security strip. Not a word is said about it on the Treasury & BEP .gov sites. I looked--very thoroughly. Nothing.]

replies: text: 1861 was the first year the US government issued legal tender banknotes (though they weren't declared legal tender until the following year with the Legal Tender Act of 1862).  While both the government and individual banks did issue banknotes prior to 1861, these were pegged to their face value in silver or gold coins and the banknotes themselves had not legal tender status. - ZLEA T\C 23:18, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
