[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Yes, we've had plastic/polymer notes for about 10 years now... they started with the $5 then $10, $20, $50 and finally the $100. The $5 has recently been changed a little. A schematic of parliament house has been replaced with a portrait of Sir Henry Parkes, the father of Federation. If you've seen the movie "The Dish" 'Parkes' is a district that was named after him (presumably). They have raised (mircoscopic) indentations/patterns See-through 'windows' And other shite to stop counterfitting - i'd say the many subtle changes in shades/colours in each note wouldn't make it easy to conterfeit either. The colours have always been the same: $5 - pinky/purple $10 - bluish $20 - orangey-red $50 - Yellowish $100 - Greenish (the old paper version was black and white with hints of pink) plus each note is bigger than the next as you increase in amount. (for the blind - etc.) we don't have 1c or 2c anymore (copper) only 10c, 20c, 50c (it's a dodecahedron), $1 and $2 coin. They toyed with the idea of the $5 coin - it didn't take off - and it was fucking huge - they only minted a few - mum has a few - they were trialed in Adelaide and mum was there at the time! 10/20/50's are silver 1 and 2 dollar coins are gold I hope you enjoyed your tour through the Australian currency. Thankyou, come again. ;o) Andrew [/QB][/QUOTE]
