A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 21, 2011 I haven't received a $10 dollar bill in change for weeks. Have they been recalled or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 8 Posted April 21, 2011 would be interesting to know, wonder if you could google the answer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 21, 2011 The banks and other financial institutions are pulling them out of circulation when they get them. This is to make it easier to introduce the new ones with Obama on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted April 22, 2011 When I specifically ask for them, I get them. Otherwise I am usually offered twenties. I usually ask for some (also fives) whenever I get money out of the bank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eve 0 Posted April 22, 2011 I work in a grocery store as a cashier. We don't even get 10 dollar bills when we start our shifts for the day. And we hardly ever get one from customers for payment. And it has been this way for the 19 years I have been in this job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RikerChick 5 Posted April 22, 2011 A cashier for 19 years? Nothing wrong with that. Better than being a perv for as many years as you've been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 22, 2011 You know, it IS kind of suspicious... it seems like I have been experiencing a shortage of $10 bills lately. $1 bills are no problem, $10's though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 22, 2011 would be interesting to know, wonder if you could google the answer? I did, with one result - someone asking the same question. When I specifically ask for them, I get them. Otherwise I am usually offered twenties. I usually ask for some (also fives) whenever I get money out of the bank. I mean, when breaking a twenty for somethings under $5 I always get three fives back instead of a 10 and a 5. Under 10 always nets me 2 fivers in change instead of a ten. I work in a grocery store as a cashier. We don't even get 10 dollar bills when we start our shifts for the day. And we hardly ever get one from customers for payment. And it has been this way for the 19 years I have been in this job. Huh. I did not know that. Do you know why that is? You know, it IS kind of suspicious... it seems like I have been experiencing a shortage of $10 bills lately. $1 bills are no problem, $10's though... Yeah! So it's not just me. I took 11 fives shopping today. I expected the cashier to groan about me pay in all fives and to my shock - she needed 5s! I asked her if she had any 10s in the till and she did - just one though.

I know there was a push at one point to put President Reagan on the $10 but I never heard of it going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 23, 2011 We should put Barney Frank on the $3 bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 30, 2011 The shortage of $10 bills has ended for us. In fact, anyone got change for a $10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted April 30, 2011 I do, but only because yesterday I got 2 $5s instead of a $10 in two different stores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted May 1, 2011 I got a $5 bill and 5 $1 bills at the grocery store, after making sure I gave a $20 and change so that all I needed to receive was a ten and a nickel.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BakulaBabe 2 Posted May 2, 2011 I just realized that I can't remember the last time I got a $10 bill as change, but I can get them at the bank if I ask for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RikerChick 5 Posted May 18, 2011 I rarely pay with cash so I haven't noticed but we always have $10s in the register at my parents store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted May 18, 2011 I know there were discussions of putting President Reagan on the $10 bill, maybe they're starting to hold them back for a pending change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted May 18, 2011 All bill circulation has returned to normal, for me. I am currently holding 1s, 5s, 10s, 20s, a 50 and some 100s. Perhaps the shortages have a traveling nature, moving from area to area... I know there were discussions of putting President Reagan on the $10 bill, maybe they're starting to hold them back for a pending change. Wouldn't the media say something about it? I heard nothing about that. I do remember seeing some commercial which features $100 bills being produced with large red lettering visible on them, presumably new security features. Heard anything about that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted May 18, 2011 There are a few groups advocating putting Reagan on the $10 but so far they don't have much traction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted May 18, 2011 I know a bill was brought up in 2006 or 2007 but didn't pass back then. I'm not sure what, if any other efforts have happened since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted May 18, 2011 I didn't even know there was a bill (pardon the pun) introduced. I heard about it a year ago via Facebook. We do have a Mt. Diablo that some people want to rename Mt. Reagan, but it is more out of dissatisfaction with the current name. Apparently Diablo is code for Satan or something stupid like that.

trekz 7 Posted May 19, 2011 There has been a series of pushes, for some time, to have something in every county in the US named after Reagan. As far as money goes, there was a push at one time for Reagan to replace Roosevelt on the dime, but it was strenuously opposed who remember the connection between Roosevelt and the March of Dimes. As stated before I get tens at the bank when I ask, though they tend to offer to give mainly twenties. Still not getting tens in change much at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted June 6, 2011 just for the record, here is a shot I took off the TV of the (new?) orange 100 dollar bills I mentioned up stream, being minted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted June 6, 2011 Any chance we can get "In God We Trust" taken off the money? It's pretty sad when we can't trust our government with our money and have to turn to something that probably doesn't exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted July 7, 2011 Can we put Darwin on our money like the Brits do? Seriously, one thing that does need to be eliminated are small coins. It costs the US Mint 4 cents to make a penny and I think 8 cents to make a nickle. Nickles are used over and over again, but pennies are only useful to most people to see how far we can throw them.
