when did the $50 note come out in australia?
1973
the $1 (10/-), $2 (£1), $10 (£5), and $20 (£10) had exact exchange rates with pounds and were a similar colour to the notes they replaced, but the $5 (£2/10) did not, and so was introduced after the public had become familiar with decimal currency. notes issued between 1966 and 1973 bore the title "commonwealth of australia". starting from 1974, the title on the new notes only read "australia" and the legal tender phrase was also changed from "legal tender throughout the commonwealth of australia and the territories of the commonwealth" to "this australian note is legal tender throughout australia and its territories". the $50 note was introduced in 1973 and the $100 note in 1984, in response to inflation requiring larger denominations for transactions. the one dollar note was replaced by a coin in 1984, while the two dollar note was replaced by a smaller coin in 1988. these original bank notes were designed by gordon andrews, who rejected traditional australian clichés in favour of interesting and familiar subjects such as aboriginal culture, women, the environment, architecture and aeronautics. although no longer printed, all previous issues of australian dollar banknotes are considered legal tender.
