The ten litų (Lithuanian pronunciation:[ˈlɪtu]) note (LTL 10) was the lowest value of Lithuanian banknotes and has been used since 1922 when Lithuania became independent from German forces after World War I.
The note measures 135 × 65 mm,[1] just like all banknotes in Lithuania. The ten litų banknotes show the flight of airplane Lituanica by Steponas Darius and Stasys Girėnas.
Word litų is a genitive case of word litai, which is plural of litas. Plural genitive case is used with decimal numbers (10, 20, 50 and so on).
The first litas was introduced on October 2, 1922, replacing the ostmark and ostrubel, both of which had been issued by the occupying German forces during World War I. 1 US dollar valued 10 litų. In 1941, litas disappeared for the first time. The litas was replaced by the Soviet ruble in April 1941 after Lithuania was annexed by the Soviet Union. Litas was issued again in 1992.
Banknote was released four times (in 1993 (twice), 1997, and 2001).
Since 2007 the ten litų note became the lowest nomination note, when one, two and five litų notes were phased out.

Both of the aviators died. The reverse of the banknote shows Lituanica flying over the Atlantic Ocean.
