My tax dollars wasted on something we don't need? How childish are these new notes ... $9 mill down the drainTHE Reserve Bank of Australia has been working on creating new, "youthful"-looking bank notes for the past five years, it's been reported.
The project, called Next Generation Bank Note, is more than two years behind schedule and has so far cost $9.3 million, The Australian reports.
Designers have been supplied with new portraits of the notes' subjects and asked to capture Australian characteristics with "youthful" and "energetic design qualities", it says.
