| Comments |
Training notes issued to bank tellers are rarely collected with any seriousness, which makes the Australian examples unusual — the Reserve Bank of Australia produced them with enough fidelity to genuine currency that they required overt cancellation markings to distinguish them legally from the real article. Sadgrove's engraving work appears across several denominations in the RBA's production history, and the use of a named engraver on what is essentially an internal training instrument reflects how seriously the Bank treated even non-circulating material.
Paper composition rather than the polymer substrate used on genuine Australian $50 notes since 1995 is the immediate tell.
