In approximately 1 year it will be the centenary of Commonwealth banknotes, and I was wondering whether people think the RBA has any plans for a commemorative issue - say $10 for 10 shillings, or $100 for the 100 years?

I sure hope so

We don't get many commemorative bank notes, which I guess is a tactic to reduce the risk of counterfeit notes going unnoticed.

It would be quite ironic though if the RAM issued a commemorative amongst their countless issues but the RBA didnt.

That would be awesome...unreal...amazing & all the above.

Okay, so they've done:
1988 $10 - Bicentenary
2001 $5 - Centenary of Federation

Maybe it's time for a $20 note for the centenary of banknotes.

Imagine how much the technology has changed & what else they could do to "show off" a special note.

A limited print run of one per person (based specifically on the population on the 1st of January 2013)
I just found a population clock: http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@...OpenDocument
On 9 May 2012 at 07:41:38 PM (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be:
22,900,240

Perhaps a red version of the original 1913 10 Shilling Note, but with even more bells & whistles than our current notes.

I like the $10 for 10 shillings (blue) & the $100 for 100 years (green).

There is so much that they could do......I can't stop my mouth watering.

I might have to draw up some concept notes. I'm thinking a green note would be good actually (then again, supply & demand) how many people are going to want to hold onto a $100 note?

But I do think it'd be suitable for FNQ's $100 for 100 years & also the colouring...Australia, known as green & yellow.

Let me drool...let me think......if I don't post, you'll know that I'm still stirring the pot for the best execution of this note of ours.

It's not a simple formula & I can't give away any of my concepts until we're all ready!

Hmm...I think George V should be on our (creative) note because he was in power when the original 1913 notes were released. A full coloured side? I found this nice image:
2013-Commonwealth-Banknote-Centenary
Otherwise keeping in the green $100 concept, maybe something like this stamp would also be pretty cool:
2013-Commonwealth-Banknote-Centenary

On the other side I think we should have some of our landmarks (such as Opera House, Flinders St Station, Ayres Rock, Great Barrier Reef etc).

Green & Yellow...known as Australian colours. So why not do it?



Still thinking, I have drawn something up...but I'm not in scanning mode right now.

Well it looks like it will be a free pass for the Mints, and based on what passes grade for commemorative releases...

"The Reserve Bank of Australia does not currently have any plans to issue a special banknote commemoratory."

I am certain that RAM and the Perth Mint will no doubt issue a plethora of different coins on this centenary
