The new Australian $10 banknote retains it blue tones and the faces of literary talents and takes on new splashes of yellow and tactile features.
Following in the footsteps of the $5 note, which hit wallets last September, the currency will have a top-to-bottom clear window and a rolling patch of colour to secure it from counterfeiting.
There's also images of yellow bramble wattle and a sulphur-crested cockatoo.
Microprint excerpts of of the writings of AB 'Banjo' Paterson and Dame Mary Gilmore will remain.
The new $10 banknote will be issued from September, the Reserve Bank of Australia said on Friday.
There's believed to be about 120 million $10 notes already in circulation.
