WASHINGTON – MARCH 2: An uncut sheet of the redesigned $10 bill is seen after a news conference to commemorate the first day of circulation of the new notes at the National Archives March 2, 2006 in Washington, DC. The new $10 note is the latest issue in the new series of U.S. currency, with features including color-shifting ink, watermark and security thread which are easy to check by naked eye.

After calculating inflation rates, Business Insider put together a list of how much $10 was worth in the year you were born and what you could've bought with it. Pretty interesting.
I was born in 1989, $10 was worth $20.82 and could've bought 30 rolls of toilet paper.
In 1982, $10 was worth $26.74 and could've bought 24 toothbrushes.
In 1975, $10 was worth $48.40 and could've bought 216 diapers.
In 1969, $10 was worth $70.83 and could've bought a high yield of printer ink.
See the full list here! It goes back to 1965.
