The '''United States ten-dollar bill''' (US$10) is a [[Denomination (currency)|denomination]] of [[U.S. currency]]. The [[obverse]] of the bill features the portrait of [[Alexander Hamilton]], who served as the first [[U.S. secretary of the treasury]], two renditions of the torch of the [[Statue of Liberty]] (''Liberty Enlightening the World''), and the words "We the People" from the original engrossed [[preamble of the United States Constitution]]. The [[Obverse and reverse|reverse]] features the [[U.S. Treasury Building]]. All $10 bills issued today are [[Federal Reserve Note]]s.

As of December 2018, the average life of a $10 bill in [[Circulation (currency)|circulation]] is 5.3 years before it is replaced due to wear.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/how-long-is-the-life-span-of-us-paper-money.htm|title=FRB: How long is the lifespan of U.S. paper money?}}</ref> Ten-dollar bills are delivered by Federal Reserve Banks bound with yellow straps.

The source of Hamilton's portrait on the $10 bill is [[John Trumbull]]'s 1805 painting that belongs to the portrait collection of [[New York City Hall]]. The $10 bill is unique in that it is the only denomination in circulation in which the portrait faces to the left. It also features one of two non-presidents on currently issued U.S. bills, the other being [[Benjamin Franklin]] on the [[United States one hundred-dollar bill|$100 bill]].  Hamilton is also the only person not born in the continental United States or British America (he was from the [[West Indies]]) currently depicted on U.S. paper currency; three others have been depicted in the past: [[Albert Gallatin]], Switzerland ($500 1862/63 Legal Tender), [[George Meade]], Spain ({{val|p=$|1000|fmt=commas}} 1890/91 Treasury Note), and [[Robert Morris (financier)|Robert Morris]], England ({{val|p=$|1000|fmt=commas}} 1862/63 Legal Tender; $10 1878/80 Silver Certificate).

* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1861}}|event=The first $10 bill was issued as a [[Demand Note]] with a small portrait of [[Abraham Lincoln]] on the left side of the obverse and an [[allegorical]] figure representing art on the right.}}
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1862}}|event=The first $10 [[United States Note]] was issued with a face design similar to the 1861 Demand Note; the reverse, however, was somewhat revised.}} The Roman numeral "X" may represent the origin of the slang term "[[sawbuck]]" to mean a $10 bill.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1863}}|event=[[Interest Bearing Note]]s, featuring a portrait of [[Salmon P. Chase]] and vignette of liberty, were issued that could be redeemed one year after the date printed on the bill for $10 plus 5% interest.}} The notes could also be spent for exactly $10.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1864}}|event=[[Compound Interest Treasury Note]]s, with a face design similar to the 1863 Interest Bearing Note, were issued that grew in face value 6% compounded semi-annually.}} It is unknown if the note could actually be spent for $10 plus interest.

* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1870}}|event=[[National Gold Bank Note]]s, featuring a [[Vignette (graphic design)|vignette]] of [[Benjamin Franklin]] flying a kite on the left and liberty and an eagle on the right, were issued specifically for payment in gold coin by participating national banks.}} The back of the bill featured a vignette of U.S. gold coins.

The reverse featured an ornate design that took up almost the entire note.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1891}}|event=The reverse of the 1890 Treasury Note was redesigned because the treasury felt that it was too "busy" which would make it too easy to [[counterfeit]].}}

[[File:US-$10-LT-1901-Fr.114.jpg|thumb|250px|Series 1901 $10 Legal Tender depicting military explorers [[Meriwether Lewis]], [[William Clark (explorer)|William Clark]], and an [[American bison]]]]

* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1901}}|event=The famous United States Note featuring portraits of [[Meriwether Lewis]] on the left, [[William Clark (explorer)|William Clark]] on the right, and an [[American bison]] which is sometimes erroneously noted as being Black Diamond, the Bison which was depicted on the reverse of the Indian Head Nickel.}}  This United States Note was the only one to mention the legal provision that authorized its issuance.

[[File:US-$10-FRN-1914-Fr-919a.jpg|thumb|right|250px|1914 $10 Federal Reserve Note featuring [[Andrew Jackson]]]]

* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1915}}|event=[[Federal Reserve Bank Note]]s (not to be confused with Federal Reserve Notes) were issued by four individual Federal Reserve banks.}} The obverse was similar to the 1914 Federal Reserve notes except for large wording in the middle of the bill and a portrait with no border on the left side of the bill. Each note was an obligation of the issuing bank and could only be redeemed at the corresponding bank.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1918}}|event=The 1915 Federal Reserve Bank Note was re-issued under series of 1918 by four Federal Reserve banks.}}
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1923}}|event=The $10 United States Note was redesigned with a portrait of Andrew Jackson.}} Some of the design aspects of this note, such as the bottom border and numeral 10 overprinted with the word {{sc|TEN}}, were transferred over to the series of 1928 $10 bill.

* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1929}}|event=Under the [[Series of 1928 (United States Currency)|Series of 1928]], all U.S. currency was changed to its current size.}} All variations of the {{US$|long=no|10}} bill would carry the same portrait of Alexander Hamilton, same border design on the [[obverse]], and the same [[Obverse and reverse|reverse]] with a vignette of the U.S. Treasury building. The {{US$|long=no|10}} bill was issued as a [[Federal Reserve Note]] with a green seal and serial numbers and as a [[gold certificate (United States)|gold certificate]] with a golden seal and serial numbers. The car parked outside of the Treasury Department building is based on a number of different cars manufactured at the time and was the creation of the Bureau designer who developed the artwork that served as a model for the engraving, because government agencies were prohibited from endorsing any specific manufacturer or product, according to a bureau of engraving and printing pamphlet.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Currency NOTES |url=http://www.moneyfactory.gov/images/Currency_notes_508.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170815232659/http://www.moneyfactory.gov/images/Currency_notes_508.pdf |archive-date=2017-08-15 |access-date=2017-07-24 |work=Bureau of Engraving and Printing }}</ref> The tiny building to the right rear of the treasury building is the [[American Security and Trust Company Building]], which for some years advertised itself as "right on the money".<ref>{{Cite book

* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1933}}|event=As an emergency response to the [[Great Depression]], additional money was pumped into the American economy through Federal Reserve Bank Notes.}} This was the only small-sized {{US$|long=no|10}} bill that had a different border design on the obverse. The serial numbers and seal on it were brown.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1933}}|event=The first small sized {{US$|long=no|10}} [[Silver certificate (United States)|silver certificates]] were issued with a blue seal and serial numbers.}} The obverse had a similar design style to the 1928 {{US$|long=no|1}} Silver Certificates; however, phrasing on the {{US$|long=no|10}} bill was different from the {{US$|long=no|1}} bill. This issue, with the series date of 1933, was not widely released into general circulation. Surviving examples of these notes are quite rare and valued at $10,000 to $30,000 in the numismatic community depending on their condition.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1934}}|event=The redeemable in gold clause was removed from Federal Reserve Notes due to the U.S. withdrawing from the [[gold standard]].}}
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1934}}|event=The {{US$|long=no|10}} Silver Certificate was redesigned with a blue numeral 10 on the left side of the obverse and the treasury seal printed over the gray word {{sc|TEN}} on the right.}} Phrasing on the certificate was changed to reflect the [[American Silver Purchase Act]] of 1934.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1942}}|event=Special World War II [[Hawaii overprint note|currency was issued.]] {{sc|HAWAII}} was overprinted on the front and back of the {{US$|long=no|10}} Federal Reserve Note, and the seal and serial numbers were changed to brown.  This was done so that the currency could be declared worthless in case of Japanese invasion.}} A {{US$|long=no|10}} Silver Certificate was printed with a yellow instead of blue treasury seal; these notes were given to U.S. troops in North Africa. These notes, too, could be declared worthless if seized by the enemy.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1950}}|event=Many minor aspects on the obverse of the {{US$|long=no|10}} Federal Reserve Note were changed.}} Most noticeably, the treasury seal, gray word {{sc|TEN}}, and the Federal Reserve Seal were made smaller, the words {{sc|WASHINGTON, D.C.}} were added between them and the serial number; also, the Federal Reserve seal had spikes added around it, like the Treasury seal.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1953}}|event=The {{US$|long=no|10}} silver certificate had several design changes analogous to the 1950 Federal Reserve Note design changes; also, the blue numeral 10 on the left side of the bill was changed to gray.}}
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1963}}|event={{sc|WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND}} was removed from the obverse and [[United States national motto|{{small|IN GOD WE TRUST}}]] was added to the reverse of the {{US$|long=no|10}} Federal Reserve Notes.}} Also, the obligation was shortened to its current wording, {{sc|THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE}}. Also during this time, production of Silver Certificates ends.
* {{Timeline-event |date={{start-date|1969}}|event=The {{US$|long=no|10}} bill began using the new treasury seal with wording in [[English language|English]] that simply says, "The Department of the Treasury", instead of [[Latin]] "THESAUR.

The plastic security strip reads "USA TEN" and now glows orange under a [[black light]]. Like the new {{US$|long=no|5}}, the bills were first printed in December 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f1999_d.html|title=USPaperMoney.Info: Series 1999 {{US$|long=no|10}}}}</ref><ref name="OIG-2020">{{cite web |title=Audit of Bureau of Engraving and Printing's Implementation of Security Features and Meaningful Access for the Blind and Visually Impaired into New Note Design |url=https://oig.treasury.gov/sites/oig/files/2020-12/OIG-20-040.pdf |website=Office of Inspector General |publisher=Department of the Treasury |access-date=8 October 2024 |date=June 30, 2020 |archive-date=26 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231226210137/https://oig.treasury.gov/sites/oig/files/2020-12/OIG-20-040.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Proposed redesigns of the ten-dollar bill ==
In 2015, the multi-agency Advanced Counterfeit Deterrence Steering Committee (ACD) developed a schedule for the next generation of US bills, known as Catalyst, which will contain new security and anti-counterfeiting features as well as increased accessibility for the blind and visually impaired.<ref name="OIG-2020" /> On June 17, 2015, Treasury Secretary [[Jack Lew]] announced that a woman's portrait would be featured on a redesigned ten-dollar bill by 2020, although the ACD was not planning for it to be production ready until 2026. The Department of Treasury was seeking the public's input on who should appear on the new bill during the design phase.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Calmes|first1=Jackie|title=Woman's Portrait Will Appear on the $10 Bill|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/18/us/portrait-of-a-woman-to-share-space-on-the-dollar-10-bill-with-hamiltons.html?_r=0|work=The New York Times|date=June 17, 2015}}</ref>

Removal of Hamilton was controversial. Many believed that Hamilton, as the first Secretary of the Treasury, should remain on U.S. Currency in some form, all the while thinking that U.S. Currency was long overdue to feature a female historical figure – names that had been raised included [[Eleanor Roosevelt]], [[Harriet Tubman]], and [[Susan B. Anthony]]. This led to the Treasury Department stating that Hamilton would remain on the bill in some way. The $10 bill was chosen because it was scheduled for a regular security redesign, a years-long process.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://money.cnn.com/2016/02/17/investing/woman-10-bill-redesign-update/ |work=CNN|title=Woman 10 bill redesign update|date=2016}}</ref> The redesigned ten-dollar bill was to be the first U.S. note to incorporate tactile features to assist those with visual disabilities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bep.gov/images/Meaningful_Access_White_Paper_06-25-13.pdf|work=B of Engraving and Printing|title=Meaningful Access White Paper|date=2013}}</ref>

On April 20, 2016, it was announced that Alexander Hamilton would remain the primary face on the $10 bill, due in part to the sudden popularity of the first Treasury Secretary after the success of the 2015 Broadway musical [[Hamilton (musical)|''Hamilton'']]. It was simultaneously announced that [[Harriet Tubman]]'s likeness would appear on the [[United States twenty-dollar bill|$20 bill]] while [[Andrew Jackson]] would now appear on the reverse with the [[White House]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/21/us/women-currency-treasury-harriet-tubman.html|work=The New York Times|date=2016|title=Women Currency Harriet Tubman}}</ref> The 2016 design for the reverse of the new $10 bill was set to feature the heroines of the [[Women's suffrage in the United States|Women's Suffrage Movement]] in the United States, including [[Susan B. Anthony]], [[Alice Paul]], [[Sojourner Truth]], [[Elizabeth Cady Stanton]], [[Lucretia Mott]], and the participants of the 1913 [[Woman Suffrage Procession]] who marched in Washington, D.C., in favor of full voting rights for American women.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://modernmoney.treasury.gov/new-bills/10-bill |work=US Department of the Treasury |title=The New $10 Note |date=2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160427102853/https://modernmoney.treasury.gov/new-bills/10-bill |archive-date=April 27, 2016 }}</ref>

In August 2017, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) began development of the Catalyst $10 and $50 bills.<ref name="OIG-2020" /> As of October 2022, the plan was to release a new $10 bill in 2026, $50 bill in 2028, $20 bill in 2030 followed later by a new $5 then $100 notes later in the 2030s.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.coinworld.com/news/paper-money/printing-of-new-enhanced-10-dollar-note-expected-in-2026 | title=Printing of new enhanced $10 note expected in 2026 }}</ref> The new bills will include "raised tactile features" for the blind and visually impaired which will be applied as part of the [[Intaglio (printmaking)|intaglio]] printing process. Due to the development of the bill's security features, the designs of the new bills will likely be released 6 months before each bill is issued.<ref name="OIG-2020" />
