The acknowledged $10 FRNs with serial #99999999 are the 1934As: C99999999A, B99999999B this note, 1934B: B99999999D, 1934C: L99999999B, and 1934D: A99999999B. There was a small change in the face design from 1934 to the 1950 series shrinking the seal and district letters, but leaving the rest of the design untouched. It is interesting to note that all of the five examples known are from the old 1934 era design. We have witnessed prices realized for other $10 1934 era FRNs end up in the $9000 to $16,000 range.

The BEP close to two decades ago decided to issue on a one time basis, a small number of matched serial number, 12 district $10 FRns showing the transition in design between the 1995 and the 1999 series. They mounted each 12 district, 12 note matched s/n set in a hard bound green book, with serial numbers starting with 99997999 running up to and including 99999999. These notes were not meant for general circulation. These notes are often referred to as souvenir notes. On 8-18-2021 StacksBowers auctioned off the set of $10 1995 FRns with each of the 12 districts bearing serial #99999999 in it's bound green book. The set realized the ridiculously low price of $90,000. The note you are bidding today was meant for general circulation and not a souvenir book note. This is one of five known for general circulation.
