The Reserve Bank of Australia has undertaken a first print run of the new banknotes and is making them available for calibration purposes.
All banknote equipment manufacturers with a signed Banknote Loan Agreement with the Reserve Bank should have received an email with instructions for placing orders.
The Reserve Bank has further advised that a second print run will be made available for testing purposes in mid-2020 and this will be accompanied with further information specifically for machine users, including retailers and commercial banks.
The new design of the $100 banknote will be revealed to the public early next year and the new format $100 note will be released into circulation in late 2020.
