AUSTRALIA NEW $20 Dollars 2019 x 1 UNC Polymer Banknote

Lowe/Gaetjens - General Prefix

The $20 banknote will be released into general circulation mid October 2019. It celebrates Mary Reibey, a convict who broke out of rigidly defined social norms to earn a reputation as an astute and successful businesswoman, and the Reverend John Flynn, who pioneered the world's first aerial medical service in 1928, now known as the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Reibey's story is recognised on the banknote through an image of a Port Jackson schooner in Sydney Cove in the early 1800s. Beside it is a traditional Eora nowie (canoe). Aboriginal women fishing from these vessels were a common sight on the harbour in Reibey’s time. There are also images depicting an De Havilland Dragon aircraft and a pedal powered transceiver developed to improve communications in remote areas, representing Flynn's story.

Innovative new security features have been incorporated in the new $20 banknote to help keep them secure from counterfeiting. These security features are similar to those in the $5, $10 and $50 banknotes issued progressively since 2016, such as the top-to-bottom clear window that contains a number of dynamic features including a reversing number and flying bird. There is also a patch with a rolling colour effect and microprint featuring excerpts of Flynn's book The Bushman's Companion and the names of ships owned by Reibey.

Each banknote in the new series also features a different species of native Australia wattle and bird. The $20 banknote features the Acacia Buxifolia and the Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae).

As previously announced, key aspects of the existing design – colour, size and people portrayed – have been retained for ease of recognition and to minimise the disruption to businesses. The new banknote series also has a ‘tactile’ feature to help the vision-impaired community distinguish between different denominations of banknotes.
