I don’t know for sure why the $10 FRN seems to be “unpopular” but the largest bank in the USA, Chase Bank uses only $20 FRNs in most of their ATMs. I too have noticed i haven’t received a $10 note in awhile.
The last statistics i read show that 60% of all USA FRNs printed each year by the BEP are held outside the USA! Also, some countries like Ecuador use the U.S. dollar as their official currency & the FED ships them notes at their request. Therefore, maybe many $10 notes wind up overseas.

I rarely receive that denomination in change anymore. Stores are starting to give two fives instead of a single ten, which seems to be counterproductive. Of course for years we’ve been using two quarters instead of half-dollars and multiple $1s instead of $2 bills …. is the sawbuck possibly going to follow suit?
