More information is needed. Please post a new, separate question with the bill's date and whether is was issued by the Federal Government or by a private bank. If it's from a private bank, include the bank's name. The X's of course are the Roman numeral for 10. Their resemblance to a sawbuck, a carpenter's device for holding large pieces of wood, earned these bills the nickname of "sawbucks".
How did the term 'sawbuck' come to mean a ten dollar bill?
Early $10 bills had the Roman numeral X (ten) as one indicator of their denomination. The form of the X resembled a carpenter's sawbuck, a kind of platform that's used to hold logs and other round pieces of wood for sawing.
