10 Dollars - Teller Training Note

Teller training notes were produced by the Reserve Bank of Australia for use in staff instruction — never legal tender, never intended for circulation. They mimic genuine notes closely enough to be useful for handling drills but are distinguished by overprints or other markings identifying them as specimens for training purposes. The RBA has been cautious about the volume released, and examples that have made it into collector hands typically did so through bank staff rather than any official disposal channel.

Paper substrate rather than the polymer used in genuine Australian $10 notes since 1993 is the immediate giveaway on later training issues.
