Australia's polymer banknote program, developed jointly by the Reserve Bank and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation through the 1980s, made the country the first in the world to issue a full circulating polymer series — the $10 being among the earlier denominations converted. Note Printing Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank, handled production entirely domestically throughout this run.
The signature combinations span four governor-secretary pairings across thirteen years, with the 2006 transition reflecting Glenn Stevens replacing Macfarlane mid-series. Ken Henry's name appears across three of the four signature variants, an unusually long tenure for a Secretary to the Treasury.
