How Australian Money is Made

HOW AUSTRALIAN MONEY IS MADE Australian money is made quite differently to paper notes around the world, in order to ensure its security and durability. Want to know more? All Australian banknotes circulation today are made from a polymer compound (plastic). Australia was the first country in the world to make their notes from polymer. The bank notes have a distinctive feel. Polymer banknotes are recyclable, cheaper to make, harder to copy, and last longer than paper notes. The composition of the Australian 5, 10, 20, and 50 cent coins is 75% copper and 25% nickel, The $1 and $2 coins are made of 92% copper, 6% aluminum, and 2% nickel. Many security features can be added to the notes due to the polymer material. SECURITY FEATURES ON THE NOTES INCLUDE: EC 99780 633 100 50 FIETY DOL LARS TEN DOLLARS A clear window Fluorescent serial numbers ------------------------- Diamond shaped patterns which line up perfectly when held up to a light --------------- A visible Australian coat of arms when held up to the light ------------------------------------------------------------ Embossing on the $20, $50, and $100 notes -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiny, clearly defined words that can be seen with a magnifying glass ----------------------------------- Multi coloured, multi directional patterns on each side of the note with clear 7 printing -------**-AR IDaaiel Microprinted poems by AB 'Banjo' Paterson and Dame Mary Gilmore on the $10 note Coins are made by the commonwealth government at its Royal Mint Canberra. Notes are printed in Melbourne at Note Printing Australia. Detailed artwork is required for the portraits on the notes and other design themes Separate print runs are required for each sides of the note. This creates a raised print, used as a security feature The notes are given 2 coats of a protective varnish to keep them clean and enhance their life Imperfect/soiled notes are removed after printing Finished notes are shrink wrapped and stored in strong rooms ready to be distributed by armoured cars REFERENCES p arrs.com/WhatJutalan tarkrolmade_omid1 Lend "ме p//wars.com/Whae A smcrey made ede1 pbanieotes ta gov auecuyetre ei pwwsones oglitraybarkanoney m tpwwwta govauMun/Depa/1988 onwards polymer cumency roteshow npoles made hen utralia Dodddd Australia NZ
