The Reserve Bank of Australia has periodically produced polymer training notes for use by bank tellers and retail staff learning to handle and authenticate the circulating polymer series. These are not legal tender and were never intended for circulation — they exist purely as tactile training tools, giving handlers familiarity with the feel and security features of the genuine substrate without putting actual currency into the training environment.
Collector interest is largely curiosity-driven. Official distribution was controlled, and examples reaching the secondary market usually arrived through institutional disposal rather than any formal release.
