The ten euro note (€10) is the second-lowest value euro banknote and has been used since the introduction of the euro (in its cash form) in 2002.[7] The note is used in the 25 countries (and Kosovo) that have it as their sole currency (with 24 legally adopting it), which countries have a total population of about 350 million currently.[8] In July 2024, there were approximately 3 055 000 000 ten euro banknotes in circulation around the eurozone. It is the fourth most widely circulated denomination, accounting for 10.2% of the total banknotes.[9] Estimates suggest that the average life of a ten euro banknote is about 1.5 years before it is replaced due to wear.[10]
It is the second-smallest note measuring 127 × 67 mm with a pink colour scheme.[3] The ten euro banknotes depict bridges and arches/doorways in romanesque architecture (between the 11th and 12th centuries). The ten euro note contains several complex security features such as watermarks, invisible ink, holograms and microprinting that document its authenticity.
The design of the Europa series 10 euro banknote was revealed on 13 January 2014 and launched on 23 September 2014.[11]
