Security Features
With reference to the current polymer items, there is a clear window on the banknote with the Southern Cross star formation imprinted upon it, and the number '50' is also raised on the clear window. There is also raised printing on the note.
A patch with the number '50' on the back of the banknote can be seen when held up to a UV light. There are two serial numbers on the banknote, one in black and blue, different fonts are used on each one, and the serial numbers glow under UV light.
There is also micro printing, in terms of 'fifty dollars', and a watermark of the Australian coat of arms when light is shown through it.

Famous quotes containing the words security and/or features:
“There is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all, but especially to democracies as against despots. What is it? Distrust.”
—Demosthenes (c. 384–322 B.C.)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
