From what I heard he worked in the mint and got 15 years in prison.
But that is from my memory!
Have another look. The Queen is not on the Australian Ten Dollar note, only the polymer Five Dollar note issued since 1992. Prior to the issue of polymer notes, she appeared on the paper One Dollar note issued from 1966.

If you refer to the Australian One Dollar coin, the only person to feature on every coin to date is Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Mary II died in 1694, before Australia was discovered and has never been on any Australian coin or bank note.
Queen Elizabeth II has appeared on the obverse of all Australian coins since 1953. The Australian One Pound note featured Queen Elizabeth II from 1953 until their last printing prior to the introduction of decimal currency. All years of issue of the Australian One Dollar note featured Queen Elizabeth II until the final issue in 1982. With the exception of the 2001 Centenary of Federation Five Dollar note, all Australian polymer Five Dollar notes have featured Queen Elizabeth II from 1992 to present.
The Australian One Dollar note was withdrawn from circulation from 1984 after it was replaced by the One Dollar coin. The One Dollar note featured Queen Elizabeth II on the front, and a number of Aboriginal motifs on the back (no faces).

Queen Elizabeth II has been shown wearing a crown of one type or another on all Australian decimal coins. The old paper One Dollar note showed her with no headwear at all. All pre-decimal coins show her with a laurel around her head.
The only thing different about the 2006 Australian Two Dollar coin from any other Australian Two Dollar coin minted from 1999 to 2009, is the year. The obverse has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the words "QUEEN ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2006". Underneath the Queen is the designers initials IRB (Ian Rank-Broadley). The reverse has the usual Aboriginal elder, grass tree and Southern Cross design with the inscription "2 DOLLARS".
Queen Elizabeth II is the nominal or the titular Head of State of Australia and is therefore guaranteed a position on Australian currency. Andrew (Banjo) Barton Patterson appears only on the new polymer Ten Dollar note.
On 21 June 2013, a second commemorative 2 dollar coin was launched by the Royal Australian Mint. This coin, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, featured a purple circle bordering St Edward's Crown.
