Why Can't The Federal Government Just Get The Royal Mint to Make The Billionaire Businesspeople pay Tax to produce 50 Billion Dollar Notes for every Australian so that every Australian is better off?
The Royal Mint is the British Mint, they make coins, not notes, and the Australian Government has no say in what they do. If the Australian Government was to allow the Reserve Bank of Australia to print 50 Billion Dollar notes, no matter who paid for them, there would rampant inflation in a very short period of time, and your 50 Billion Dollar notes would be worthless in a few weeks or maybe months.
What color is the Australian One Dollar note and why?

What is the value of a 1988 first edition polymer Ten Dollar note with a printing flaw?
An Australian 1988 Bicentennial Ten Dollar note depending on its condition could get anything from $22 to $100 AUD. These notes were issued as a trial for the later release of polymer bank notes. The 1988 notes were not very good and tended to fall apart. They were withdrawn after a short time. Any banknote with a "genuine" printing flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible banknote. Genuinely flawed banknotes are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the printing process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the printers therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated. A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the banknote as genuine and make a valuation.
What feature makes all bank notes different?
