The new $10 banknotes are now available, as part of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Next Generation Banknote Program. To mark this occasion, two special products have been made available to collectors.
About the new $10 banknote
The new $10 banknote retains some of the design and colour aspects of the existing note and includes elements of the previously released $5 banknote. These include the tactile feature to assist those in the community who are vision-impaired and various innovative security features.
The $10 banknote celebrates two famous Australian writers, Dame Mary Gilmore and A B “Banjo” Paterson. The banknote design includes excerpts of their poetry using microprint. As with the new $5 banknote, the $10 banknotes includes a species of native Australian wattle and bird – Bramble Wattle (Acacia victoriae) and the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita).
