Australia puts historically significant or famous Australian identities on its banknotes.
Sir Joseph Banks appears on the obverse of the old paper Australian Five Dollar note issued from 1967 to 1991. He was a botanist and the President of the Royal Society and was influential in the early days of the administration of the Colony of New South Wales.
He was on Captain Cooks voyage of discovery when Australia was "discovered" and was responsible for introducing the western world to some of Australia's native flora, some of which was subsequently named for him.
There is a suburb in Canberra and three suburbs in Sydney named for him and an electoral division.

When was the Australian Five Dollar note first issued?
The Australian Five Dollar note was first issued on the 29th of May, 1967, over 15 months after the introduction of decimal currency on the 14th of February, 1966. Although it was seen as an error of omission by many that it was not included in the original release of decimal banknotes, it was deliberately released later to allow a smooth transition from existing Pound notes to their equivalent Dollar notes. The Five Dollar note was the equivalent of Two Pounds, Ten Shillings in the old currency.
