Notes:
Type 3 OCR-B specimen notes were released to demonstrate the change in the font of lettering on the note from Gothic to OCR-B. This was done to cater for the use of computers in counting and tracking notes printed for circulation. In all other respects they are similar to the first of the type 3 specimen notes which have the word SPECIMEN in very large outline type printed diagonally twice on each side of the note with the added inscription of NO VALUE in medium type in the watermark area. Each note also carries an individual specimen serial number. The notes were distributed as individual notes in each of the 6 denominations - $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 and $50.
In 1983, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia presented awards to a number of TAA employees for their part in preventing the theft of a consignment of Australian notes. The award included a specially inscribed book containing a specimen note of each denomination.
