Wednesday, 20th September 2017 is the first day Australia’s newest $10 banknote enters circulation, according to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Governor Philip Lowe. This is the second note of the latest generation, following the $5, which was introduced in 2016.
The announcement was part of the new RBA Governor’s Opening Speech to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics last Friday. In Dr Lowe’s speech, it was revealed that the new banknote will continue to star two of the nation’s favourite authors but will also contain additional features for the visibly-impaired.
