How $10 dollar bill has changed through the years

While $10 notes existed before 1914, they weren't issued by the Federal Reserve, which was established in 1913, as the nation’s central bank, according to the U.S. Department of Treasury. In 1914, the first federal note was issued and featured an image of President Andrew Jackson. The $10 bill then measured 7.375-by-3.125 inches. The new Federal Reserve system was “more responsive to the fluctuating financial needs of the country,” according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

The 2006 bank note that is still used today has updated security features to make counterfeiting the bill harder. Upgrades include a watermark that shows a faint image of Alexander Hamilton in the space to the right of his portrait and a security thread that runs to the right of the portrait, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
