50 Dollars - Teller Training Note

Teller training notes were produced to allow bank staff to practice cash-handling, counting, and sorting without using genuine currency. The Reserve Bank of Australia issued these facsimile pieces for internal training purposes, and they were never intended to re-enter circulation — disposal after use was standard procedure, which is why intact examples surface rarely.

The $50 denomination was a practical choice: high enough to matter in training exercises simulating real transaction volumes, common enough in daily banking that tellers needed repetition handling it.
