	RBA: Conference Paper-Polymer Banknotes - Australia's Experience
		Polymer substrate offers considerable advantages in these areas and there is no doubt in our minds that polymer notes are relevant for other note issuers and printers around the world.
		The emergence of an alternative supplier of a polymer substrate, albeit with a different type of polymer to the one we use, is also an important development giving credibility to the technology, and it will undoubtedly provide stimulus to further innovation because of the competition.
		It is still a little early to be conclusive as, during the introduction of polymer notes, we had an upsurge in counterfeiting of most of the old series paper notes prior to their replacement.

		Australia's first polymer note was a commemorative note that was issued in January 1988 to celebrate the bicentenary of European settlement.
		Abstract: A security device on a banknote has to be recognized immediately by the general public and has to enable the general public to establish the genuineness of the banknote.
		This feature allows the incorporation of transmission based optical devices on a banknote so that the user, by folding the note over on itself and looking through an optical device which is a part of the note itself, can visually inspect and verify certain security features on the banknote.
