Australia Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Australia is fascinating and reflects the economic and cultural evolution of the country. From its earliest banknotes to today's modern and secure designs, Australian banknotes have undergone significant changes over the years.
Current banknotes in circulation
Current Australian banknotes belong to the polymer series, introduced in 1988 with the commemorative $10 bill. This series includes denominations of $5, $10, $20, $20, $50 and $100, each with a unique design depicting important figures and elements of Australian culture. The bills have advanced security features, such as transparent windows and holographic elements, making them some of the most secure in the world.
Old banknotes and milestones
The first Australian banknotes were issued in 1913, shortly after the country's federation. Initially, banknotes denominated in pounds, shillings and pence were used. An important milestone was the introduction of the Australian dollar in 1966, which marked the transition to the decimal system. Paper bills were gradually replaced by polymer notes, starting in 1988 with the bicentennial commemorative bill. Australia thus became the first country to adopt polymer banknotes nationally, setting a precedent that was to be followed by many other nations.
