Previous Australian Dollar Banknote Series
The Australian Dollar is issued and managed by the Reserve Bank of Australia, which oversees the design, production, and circulation of the nation’s banknotes. The current polymer banknote series, featuring advanced security features and iconic Australian figures, was introduced progressively between 2016 and 2020, replacing the first polymer series launched in 1992.
Australian coins are produced by the Royal Australian Mint in Canberra, which manufactures all circulating denominations as well as commemorative issues. Older notes and coins that have been withdrawn from circulation can still be exchanged at face value through the RBA or deposited at most banks.
