Download or read book The Plastic Banknote written by David Solomon and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Have you got any ideas on how to make a better banknote?' In the late 1960s, the detection of counterfeit banknotes and the rise of new photographic and copying technologies prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia to explore options for increasing the security of currency. A top-secret research project, undertaken by CSIRO and the Bank, resulted in the development of the world’s first successful polymer banknotes. This technology is now used in over 30 countries. This book describes the story of the Currency Notes Research and Development project from its inception in 1968 through to the release of the $10 Australian bicentennial plastic banknote in 1988. It exemplifies a market-driven project which resulted in advances in science, technology and approaches to commercialisation, and a fundamental change in banknote security.

Download or read book One Hundred Years of Australian History as Seen Through Banknotes written by Joanne C. Dauer and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Pettit from Sydney is Australia's, and one of the world's leading banknote dealers. The Dauers are wealthy clients of John's from the United States. It was the opportunity to co-author this book with the Dauers that caused John Pettit to embark on what was, by any measure, a most ambitious publishing project. Produced with the co-operation of the Reserve Bank of Australia, the authors were granted access to the Bank's impressive archives, including rarely seen specimen and trial notes, many of which feature here. In his foreword to the book, Ian McFarlane, the recently retired Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, confirms the Bank's support of the project: "I have no hesitation in recommending this book as a fascinating account of the evolution of Australian currency". This book gives everybody the opportunity to bone up on their Australian history, the historic background providing the context for the selection of the notes that are featured, and at the same time marvel at the remarkable and often visually stunning banknotes produced by our early financial institutions.
