Australia has issued polymer banknotes since 1988, when the Reserve Bank introduced the world's first polymer-substrate currency in collaboration with the Reserve Bank and Note Printing Australia. A paper-composition note issued in 2025 sits entirely outside that framework, which makes the specification here worth scrutinizing before treating this as a conventional circulating issue.
No RBA-issued series under this name or denomination exists in standard references. This entry may relate to a novelty, test, or private commemorative item rather than an authorized legal tender release.
