U.S. $10 NOTE REDESIGN UNDERWAY

"Much like the redesigned $20 and $50 notes issued over
the last two years, the $10 denomination will be the next
note slated for a make-over. The U.S. Federal Reserve
will begin issuing the new $10 note in early 2006, according
to a news release. The U.S. Department of Treasury#39;s
Bureau of Engraving and Printing will unveil the new note
in late 2005.

Similar to the new $20 and $50 notes#39; designs, the updated
$10 note will feature enhanced security features, subtle
background colors and American symbols of freedom. BEP
is preparing cash-handling equipment — including vending
and ATM — manufacturers for needed technical equipment
adjustments before the note hits the street.

BEP will provide manufacturers with test notes and
specifications six months before the note#39;s circulation."

numismatic market. -Editor]
