There are also yellow Wattle flowers, a native plant to Australia.

History

Since increasing security was the primary objective, the first step in the design process was the selection of suitable security features. A survey of potential features was undertaken, including features already in use around the world and those newly released or in development. This generated a list of around 200 potential features, many of which had been commonly used on paper banknotes and some of which were unique to polymer. These features were assessed by the Reserve Bank on the basis of four key criteria:

Resilience to counterfeiting

Difficulty of creating a reproduction that effectively mimics the feature

Ease of use to validate banknotes by the public and equipment (such as vending and ticketing machines)

Resistance to damage in circulation.
