This $10 note would amount to roughly a half month's pay for a normal laborer in 1901. Common prices for staple food items during this period ranged from 15 to 30 cents for foodstuffs and 70 cents for items like coal to heat homes. These notes represented a large sum of money for the average American and many of these notes would find their primary circulation in cities, with few moving to rural America for circulation.
