Hello! Is this ten very dirty or was there an inking error of some sort? I almost passed it up in my change but decided to hang on to it just in case. It is pretty worn. Thanks for any input.   |

To me it looks just stained. Maybe tea or coffee. John1  |

Looking at the note I don't think if it was coffee or soda it would have a blotchy texture to it ( just my opinion ). I found a 2006 one dollar note with the same color. Tried finding out what caused it but was unable to. I think it may have something to do with the paper mixture again just my opinion.  |

Thanks John! I noticed that too. It does look similar to the color of your note. The pics aren't the greatest. I will post a couple of better ones today.

The BEP would never accept off-color paper, nor would Crane Paper ever try to sell it to the BEP. IMO that first picture is (as stated above) coffee or tea stained. Worth face value only - a spender.

Why is the color inside the portrait lighter? If you look closely, you will see that the color is darker all around the outlines of the portrait and watermark. I'm not sure about a coffee or tea stain distributing color like that.

If you look at a crisp new $10 bill, you can see that the color changes a little bit in the middle. These $10's take a beating, they don't print very many of them anymore. (mostly because its easier for businesses to order a huge number of $5's and $1's) In fact, its more common for me to receive 2 fives in change than a single $10 bill. Which is sad because the $10 is my favorite denomination, beside the $2.

The front has exactly the same color to it. The first pics I took did not show it well.

Not trying to start any arguments but if it is coffee tea soda stain can someone explain why the printings first second and third are above the stain marks. Again not trying to start a argument just curious.

Mackwork You are aware that different colored stock paper was used on different denominations. Look at a 2006 twenty dollar note and let me know what color you see.

Thanks for the input spring and all others. I think the same as you regarding the first and second printings. There's no doubt this note has seen it's day but it looks like there was some type of print issue going on.

From what I can see, this isn't the same coloration as seen on a 2006 $20.

maybe a farm worker stored it in his wallet and through the course of the day, his pants got dirty and wet, and as a result it got the 10 dollar bill dirty as well. a wild guess, but to me it for sure looks like some sort of discoloration caused by external sources after it was printed.
