Recognizable as and more than coins, the euro banknotes thanks to their very colorful appearance and the rather different dimensions between the various “cuts” (originally 8, for some years 7, with the repeal of the 500 euro) have been conceptually accepted much more quickly than coins.In particular, one of the most exploited by European citizens is the € 10 one, which is equal to about 2.7 billion pieces among all the countries that are part of theeurozone.

Red in color, and slightly larger than the € 5 (127 × 67 cm) banknote, the € 10 banknote bears architectural and artistic depictions that draw inspiration from art Romanesque and it is one of the least counterfeited (in fact it ranks third, after the 50 and 20 euros). Like any other Community banknote, it was made in two series, the first released from 2002 to 2014, and the second from this last year, and still printed by the user countries.
The rarity of a 10 euro banknote, being so widespread, is all in the serial, which is made from an initial letter, different depending on the country of origin (the Italian ones, for example, have an S at the beginning, followed by 11 digits) , and it is precisely from the serial that you can make good deals: if the composition is particular, as constituted by consecutive digits (eg. S23456789…) or simply by a few types of figures (es. S84484484) we are facing a rarity that can be worth up to 5 times the face value.
However, the rarest € 10 are Specimen, ie the “sample” banknotes, conceived not for traditional use but as a “gift” for the governor of the European central bank. These are easily recognizable by the writing shown diagonally on both sides. A specimen of this type is worth from 700 up to over 1000 euros, if particularly well kept but it is practically impossible to find.
