Training notes issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia for use by bank tellers learning to handle and process currency. They are not legal tender and were never intended for circulation — produced to simulate the handling experience of real notes without introducing actual money into a training environment. Most were destroyed after use, which makes intact examples moderately scarce despite their relatively recent production.
Garry Emery, the Melbourne-based graphic designer responsible for the polymer note redesign program, is credited here — an unusual attribution for what is essentially an internal institutional tool.
