Australia`s Federal Reserve Bank yesterday unveiled a new $10 note following the introduction of a new A $5 note in September last year.
Look, it looks like this:
Do you see any differences?
First of all, like the old version, the new $10 note is still dominated by blue.
The upright figure is still the famous Australian poet AB `Banjo` Paterson (1864 / 1941), set against the scene of his famous long poem < The Man From Snowy River > and imprinted with the entire poem of Banjo Paterson in the form of a miniature text. Known as the Australian spirit of praise.
The poem has also been adapted twice by Hollywood into a film, translated from Snow River, starring Kirk Douglas in the 1982 edition. And the spectacle of cowboy rushes in the poem was the opening of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. When you get it, don`t forget to use the magnifying glass to look for it and read it.

On the back, however, is the famous Australian writer and rights fighter, Baroness Dame Mary Gilmore (1865 / 1962), the first Australian woman or woman to be named a baroness, and the first writer to hold a state funeral after her death.
One of her poems, "No Foe Shall Gather Our Harvest," was also printed on the back of the new edition in miniature, allowing the enemy not to snatch our fruit. I think Baroness Gilmore will like the new one, and she looks a lot more exuberant than the old one.

Difference: improved anti-counterfeiting level
Like the new $5 note, the new $10 note also features a vertical transparent band from top to bottom that runs through the entire note.
Many stereoscopic holograms are designed on the transparent tape, which can produce dazzling optical effects with the change of human visual angle, which greatly increases the difficulty of forgery, which is the only anti-counterfeiting technology in the world.
"our biggest goal is to improve anti-counterfeiting technology and reduce counterfeiting," said a head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Australia.
In addition, the new $10 note also follows the blind spot first added to the new $5 note, making it easy for blind people to identify banknotes of different denominations ($5 has one blind spot and $10 has two).
At the same time, state-of-the-art printing technology ensures that the two bulges will not be flattened by hand, and Australia is one of the few countries that can use the technology.
In addition, the new note family will display a native Australian tree and bird on notes of each denomination, and last year`s five-dollar note shows the jingle of Moses and the honey-sucking bird of the east-pointed mouth. And this year`s $10 is a raspberry gala.
And sunflower cockatoos.
Xiaobao remembers that after the launch of the $5 note last year, he was disliked by various Australian netizens:
"what`s on this new version of paper money? Vomit? "
"what vomit, is it Escherichia coli?"
"Don`t you doubt that the blue vertical transparent belt is also a feature of the new paper money!"
But this year, the wind is sudden, most netizens even said, very much like the new $10 banknotes.
"I actually like the look of the new paper money, and it`s not as ugly as most of the government stuff, which is surprising."
"We upgrade the paper money a little bit, improve the anti-counterfeiting technology over and over again, and the new paper money makes it easier for the blind to use, why does anyone else feel bad?"
"I like Australian paper money very much. Our paper money is the best in the world! Moreover, it is not as bad as any other country`s paper money. Even better, blind people can identify different denominations. So, everyone, don`t give any more credit, at least we can see what the new version of the paper money looks like, and the blind can only touch it. "
"Australian paper money is the best. Even if it is washed in the washing machine, it won`t break, unlike any other paper money. "
Very much like the appearance of the new paper money, but also added to help blind people to identify different denomination blind spots, well done!
"I don`t care what they look like, and most importantly, these new versions of the paper money let the blind distinguish the amount so that they won`t be fooled again."
"although it looks a little different from the old version, it`s a little strange, but as long as the level of anti-counterfeiting is higher, then I will show my support with both hands!"
Of course, some netizens said:
"Don`t change the look of the paper money again!" They look pretty good. "
"Don`t change it, because the new paper money slot machine doesn`t accept it at all."
"these new versions of paper money are really annoying, because parking meters are not collected at all!"
"so before changing the new paper money, the government needs to upgrade the machine, such as the Miki, vending machine."
As to whether the appearance is good-looking or not, Xiaobao feels that one netizen has a very good reason:
Money is money, as long as you can spend $10, who cares if it looks good!
It is reported that the new 10-dollar notes will be officially issued in September, while the old 10-dollar notes are still legal.
