Australia puts famous or historically significant Australian identities on its banknotes. The original paper One Hundred Dollar note released between 1984 and 1996, had Sir Douglas Mawson (Antarctic Explorer and Professor of Geology) on the front, and John Tebbutt (Pioneer of Australian Astronomy and discoverer of several comets) on the back. They were progressively withdrawn from circulation in favour of the polymer notes from 1996. The new polymer One Hundred Dollar note released from 1996 onwards, has Dame Nellie Melba (born Helen Porter Mitchell)(World renowned Soprano) on the front, and Sir John Monash (WW1 General, engineer and administrator) on the back.
The notes of the Australian currency feature the following people: * $100 note - world famous soprano Dame Nellie Melba; soldier, engineer and administrator General Sir John Monash. * $50 note - Aboriginal writer and inventor David Unaipon; Edith Cowan, the first female parliamentarian in Australia. * $20 note - Reverend John Flynn, who founded the Royal Flying Doctor Service; convict Mary Reibey who later became a successful shipping magnate and philanthropist. * $10 note - poet and author A.B.
