Teller training notes were produced for use inside bank branches to familiarise new staff with cash-handling procedures without putting genuine currency at risk. Australian practice notes of this type were never intended to leave the bank — they were issued internally, used for till-balancing drills and transaction training, then destroyed or kept as branch records. The survival rate is correspondingly low, which is what makes examples interesting to collectors rather than any intrinsic rarity of production run.
Max Robinson designed several of Australia's decimal-era notes through the Note Printing Branch of the Reserve Bank. His involvement here suggests this training piece was produced to closely mirror genuine issues of the period.
