Do the Autralian currency use hologrphic panels? I read somewhere that they do. If so, I think it should be mentioned in the article somewhere. —Frecklefoot 14:46, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Yes. Have done for years. First note in the world to do so, as I recall. Banknotes are not my thing though (aside from spending the damn things), so I'll leave that to someone else. Tannin

Okay, thanks for the info! I added a note of it to the article. —Frecklefoot 15:47, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

The only Australian banknote ever to feature a holographic panel was the commemorative $10 note of 1988. This was the first polymer banknote issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia and featured a hologram of Captain Cook. I remember TV and newspaper reports at the time saying that the hologram could be scratched off or boiled off, I don't know if this is true or not though. No polymer banknotes issued since feature holographs. --Humehwy 21:51, Jul 2, 2004 (UTC)

It would be a nice addition if someone were to scan (and possibly montage) the current banknotes. This is done to good effect in United States dollar. -- Finlay McWalter 12:25, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I think that scanning Australian currency is a breach of copyright.

However you can find some images at the following URL:-

And a google image search has quite a few examples.

How is Australian currency commonly named?? The answer should be useful in adding more links to pages like Five dollar bill. 66.32.127.112 02:53, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

The common usage is "note", and not "bill".Gene_poole 03:08, 22 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Personaly (as an aussie) in normal conversation i would usually just say "five dollars" and avoid using the term "note", but i agree that i would never say "bill".

i think that there is quite a bit of info about the history of the aussie pound that would be better off in just the aussie pound article rahter than the dollar article, it seems a little redundent. any thoughts?
