If Australia where to become a Republic, what do you think should be changed with banknotes? A: Just replace the Queen with the President/ Important person B: Complete new $5 note (with afforementioned.) C: Complete new series of banknotes. Of course any other suggestions are good, and also some suggestions on who would go on new notes and perhaps what colour schem would be great. Reply \| Reply with quote

I reckon the PM of the time should be pictured doing some task (say sweeping a pathway clean or pruning a fruit tree) not to demean them but as a symbol (ie. a new broom sweeps clean, or pruning off the dead wood) that we expect them to be a servant of the people, and that therefore their leadership and that of their cabinet is respectable!

Hay you can't demean fruit pickers that way. Maybe the PM can be shown shoveling shit of something along those lines. Reply \| Reply with quote

Hey mate, when you read something, do the words actually mean anything to you or is it like you're looking right through the page to a distant haze? Reply \| Reply with quote

Definitely adopt the Euro. Not sure what the EU would say, but it would give weight behind adopting trans-national currencies. At least we should start up something like a trans-Oceanic (incl. Aust., NZ and Pacific islands) currency. Reply \| Reply with quote

I've actually put some serious thought into this, and decided on a theme, AUSTRALIA THROUGH THE AGES Some people are featured from earlier series, with some new ideas. The banknotes would still all be polymer with the same colours although some slightly altered, such as a brighter $5 note. These are the ideas. $5 Current Australia- Similar to current $5- Current President, and Parliament House $10- The First Australians Generic Aboriginal; figure, Captain James Cook (very similar to 1988 bicentennial, but more emphasis on James Cook. $20- 19th Century Lachlan Macquarie, Early Governor of NSW, Explorer, Caroline Chisholm (featured on Paper $5) $50- Federation Mary Lee- Significant figure in South Australian women being allowed to vote, one of the first places in the world. Henry Parkes- The so called father o Federation. $100- 20th Century Australia Sir Donald Bradman- What would Aussie banknotes be without a sport's star. Eddie Mabo- The High Court's Mabo decision was a landmark in Aboriginal rights. What do you think? Not enough of one sort of person, too many of another? Should there be a $200 and or $500 note?
