Dear Bill, Baron, and All,
Baron would know this but perhaps others would not.
Australia has had 10n dollar and two dollar coins for some years now. We do
not have notes for these any more.
In addition we no longer have any paper currency. All of our currency notes
are made from a special tamper proof (resistant) polymer.
Cheers,
Pat Naughtin CAMS
