The Australian one hundred dollar banknote was first issued, as a paper note, in 1984. There have been only two different issues of this denomination: initially a greyish blue paper note, and from May 1996, a green polymer note. There were 221,842,984 paper notes issued before its withdrawal. According to Reserve Bank of Australia statistics, the number of $100 banknotes in circulation in June 2005 was 149 million, or 18.5% of all notes in circulation. The cash value for these notes was $14,924 million, or 41.9% of the total value for all denominations. Only the $50 note had more cash value in circulation. Updated figures to June 2008 were 176.9 million, or 19%, and $17,690,000,000, or 42.1%. Again, the value of cash in circulation is more for the $50 note.〔(Notes on Issue ), www.rba.gov.au, Data updated to end June 2008, Reserve Bank of Australia. Retrieved on 4 August 2015.〕 This can be explained by the fact that most automated teller machines dispense $20 and $50 notes, but not $100 notes. , 270 million $100 notes were in circulation, 21% of the total notes in circulation; worth $27,024 million, or 45% of the total value for all denominations. Since the start of issuance there have been six signature combinations. Two other combinations were not issued. Since 1973, the main title identifying the country on banknotes has been "Australia". The denominations issued prior to 1973 used "Commonwealth of Australia". ==Design== The paper issue has a portrait of Antarctic explorer Sir Douglas Mawson, with a background of a mountain range with a geological strata format. A large diamond shape appears to the left of the main picture. Astronomer John Tebbutt is on the reverse, with a background of the observatory he built and a local church. The polymer issue was designed by Bruce Stewart, and features portraits of soprano Dame Nellie Melba and engineer and First World War general Sir John Monash.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian one hundred-dollar note」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
