Английская Википедия:Banknotes of the Australian pound
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Css Image Crop Banknotes of the Australian pound were first issued by numerous private banks in Australia, starting with the Bank of New South Wales in 1817.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Refn Acceptance of private bank notes was not made compulsory by legal tender laws but they were widely used and accepted. The Queensland government issued treasury notes (1866–1869) and banknotes (1893–1910),Шаблон:Sfn which were legal tender in Queensland. The New South Wales government issued a limited series of Treasury Notes in 1893.Шаблон:Sfn
In 1910, the Commonwealth passed the Australian Notes Act of 1910 to initiate banking and currency reform. The Act stipulated that six months after the date of passage (16 September 1910), private banks could no longer issue any form of money, and that any note or instrument issued by a State Bank would no longer be considered legal tender.Шаблон:Sfn The Act further established the powers of the Commonwealth to issue, re-issue, and cancel Australian notes.Шаблон:Sfn The Act also established denominations, legal tender status, and the amount of gold coin held in reserve to secure the issues.Шаблон:Sfn On 10 October 1910 (prior to the effective date of the Notes Act), a Bank Notes Tax Act 1910 imposed a "Ten pounds per centum" tax on all issued or re-issued bank notes.Шаблон:Sfn A third currency reform act was passed on 22 December 1911 establishing the Commonwealth Bank.Шаблон:Sfn The Commonwealth Bank Act of 1911 specifically stated that the bank was not to issue bills or notes for circulation.Шаблон:Sfn The Australian Treasury issued banknotes until a 1920 amendment to the Commonwealth Bank Act of 1911. The amendment established a note-issuing department within the bank which assumed those responsibilities previously held by the Treasury.Шаблон:Sfn
On 14 February 1966 the Australian pound was replaced by a decimal currency, the Australian dollar, which was divided into one hundred cents.[1]
Superscribed banknotes (1910–1914)
Шаблон:Css Image Crop The first national issue of paper money (known as Superscribed banknotes) consisted of overprinted notes from fifteen private banks and the Queensland government, issued between 1910 and 1914 in denominations of £1, £5, £10, £20, £50 and £100.Шаблон:Sfn The notes, purchased by the Australian government from the remaining private bank stock,Шаблон:Sfn were overprinted with the words "Australian note". Surviving notes above the £10 denomination are extremely rare: two £20 notes are known (privately held), £50 notes are known in the collections of the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Art Gallery of South Australia, and no £100 banknotes of this series are known to exist.Шаблон:Sfn

Commonwealth banknotes of the Australian pound
In 1913 the first national banknotes were introduced in denominations of 10s,Шаблон:Sfn £1,Шаблон:Sfn £5,Шаблон:Sfn and £10.Шаблон:Sfn 1914 saw the introduction of £20,Шаблон:Sfn £50,Шаблон:Sfn £100,Шаблон:Sfn and £1000 notes.Шаблон:Sfn The £1000 note only saw limited circulation and was later confined to inter-bank use. Stocks were destroyed in 1969 and there are no uncancelled examples of this note known to exist in private hands, though a single cancelled example sold in a 2007 auction for AU$1,200,000.Шаблон:Sfn
Design alterations were introduced fairly quickly. Beginning in 1915, 10s notes included a red "Half Sovereign" overprint.Шаблон:Sfn Banknote size was reduced for the £1 (1923),Шаблон:Sfn £5 (1924),Шаблон:Sfn and £10 (1925).Шаблон:Sfn A portrait of King George V was introduced in the mid-1920s on the 10s through £10 notes.Шаблон:Sfn These notes still referred to the currency's convertibility to gold on demand.Шаблон:Sfn A newer £1000 note (1923–1928) with the profile of George V was also prepared but never issued.Шаблон:Sfn A punch-cancelled specimen note was discovered in London in 1996 and subsequently sold for a sum in excess of $200,000. Nonetheless, this note is not recognised as a legitimate Australian banknote issue.
Just after the start of the Great Depression in 1933, Australian currency ceased to be redeemable for gold at the previously maintained rate of one gold sovereign for one pound currency. Subsequently, a new series of legal tender notes were designed, once again bearing the portrait of King George V, in denominations of 10s, £1, £5 and £10.Шаблон:Sfn These denominations and designs were maintained and modified to accommodate the portrait of King George VI in 1938.Шаблон:Sfn For both issues £50 and £100 specimens were prepared, but were not issued.Шаблон:Sfn
